decking

The day after arriving home from McGrand Thanksgiving week, we put up our Christmas decorations.

The girls were pretty great helpers this year. Em was so excited about putting the angel on the top, so J hoisted her up and let her have the honor.

Em and Roo marvel over the tree and decorations each morning when they wake. When we return home from outings, they stop and gaze at the tree every time, gently touching favorite ornaments. It's simply the most special and magical time. These girls love putting on a birthday celebration and to have the privilege of celebrating the birth of Jesus all month long... well, it's amazing. They understand that instinctively.

This is going to be the best Christmas yet!
