It's beginning.

It's officially the Christmas season and I think this year will be our most fun yet! Avery is at SUCH a fun age this year and who doesn't love baby's first Christmas?! I was so worried about putting up my trees- Anna is just so curious about everything...but so far she has showed very little interest in the whole thing (She is way more interested in the fireplace!) So far this year the house is decorated, the shopping is almost complete, we have worked on our Christmas carols almost every night, the cards are addressed and ready to go and we made it to see Santa- with no meltdowns!!! Most importantly, we are trying to teach Avery about the reason we celebrate Christmas and hoping that each year she'll understand a little bit more. I hope that you are enjoying the holidays are much as we are!

Anna wasn't much help in decorating her tree this year, but here it is! The girls in their Christmas jumpers-Avery was going to the Carol service at church with dad and Anna and I were resting at home, can you tell Anna needed the rest?!Avery hanging the first ornament on the family treeThe finishing touchAvery lost the jumper after church, like her outfit? We love our tree this year, its old but it still looks good!!!!Avery and Maddox telling Santa all about what they "need" this year Macie Drue and Maddox spending some time with Santa

After time with Santa it was time to play!

We had a hard time finding the right moment for Anna to hang her first ornaments on the tree but it finally worked out last night!

She liked the teddy bear from mom and dad!
