On Thanksgiving weekend we headed out to Lowes to pick the perfect tree to kick off our Christmas season!
There were lots to choose from :)
And everyone had an opinion!
After perusing the lot several times, we were able to decide on the perfect tree.
Daddy had lots of help getting it to the truck!
The next day the kids got their first gift of Christmas- a new ornament to hang on the tree! The kids absolutely love getting out their hallmark ornaments each year and decorating our tree. Each one they open they want to hear the story behind why it was chosen for that particular year. There are lots of stories shared while we open them up. I love all the memories that hang on our tree :) This year Maddie got a ballerina since most of her time is spent dancing. Sam got Captain America, he is obsessed with the Avengers. Meg got Olaf...she sure does love that snowman. And Marla Grace got a Minnie Mouse...she loves watching her "Animals" (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse).
When it was all said and done we had the tree and the rest of the house decorated and had the lights up on the outside. The kids said the house looked like a "winter wonderland"! I love to see the joy in their faces as they anticipate the Christmas Season because Joy coming to the Earth is what it is all about!
