Christmastime!

I love Christmas time. And it has been so fun this year with the girls! They are old enough to enjoy the lights and the tree and the music. We put up our tree shortly after Thanksgiving. The girls helped me put the ornaments on the tree while I took them out of the packaging. After a while I looked over and the bottom two branches of the tree were completely covered with ornaments and the rest was bare. It was so cute!

The Monday after we put up the tree we had a family home evening about the real meaning of Christmas. Now Kira talks about how it is Jesus's birthday soon and she thinks all the presents are for Jesus. She keeps asking me when Jesus is going to come and open his presents. She has even suggested we make a cake for Him. I wish I was more creative and could find a way to make it more Christ oriented. The girls are just so sweet about it! I hate for them to lose that.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoy the season!
