I love the Christmas season. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite day of the year, and after that, I let the Christmas fun begin. One of the first things we'll do each year is put up our Christmas tree. This tree makes me so happy. It is filled with ornaments from our travels. That's always the souvenir we get when we go somewhere. We keep a journal where we write down each ornament and where it's from. It's so fun to pull these out each year and relive some great memories! This was the first time our whole tree is made up only of travel ornaments. Here's a picture of our tree this year and a picture of each new ornament. They represent: Grove Park Inn (our anniversary trip), my China trip in May, Legoland in Orlando, St. Thomas, St. Martaan, Chicago (Shedd Aquarium), Burj Kalifa (Ryan's trip to North Africa that detoured through UAE) and my China trip in October. So many great memories!
This was something new I bought to hang on our wall this year, and I love it.
The girls' Little People nativity scene. Love how they have everyone bunched in to look at and adore baby Jesus.
The girls' wish lists. Notice they both asked for a dog; not going to happen.
We surprised the girls by hanging multi-color lights around some of their bedroom windows. They have loved having these! Here's the one around Mia's double window.
Lighting up one of Lily's single windows.
Let the Christmas fun begin!
