Oh Christmas Tree!

We've enjoyed an annual tradition with our great friends, the Arnolds, to cut down a Christmas tree for four or five years now. Before that, I was an artificial tree girl, but they instilled in me the magic of the real Christmas tree. We had absolutely beautiful, unseasonably warm weather this year. I wore a scarf to appear wintery, but it was unnecessary.

Elise was so excited to decorate the Christmas tree once we got it home. The first week we had it, I would catch her just sitting and admiring it. It is so sweet watching the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a child!




Elise's best bud Rebekah - they used to be only an inch different in height - Elise has fallen behind....
