Getting Ready for Christmas!

We haven't taken too many photos lately (story of this blog), but the weekend after Thanksgiving we got right on decorating the house for Christmas, and Anna Kate suggested we get out the camera and take some pictures (of her) with her trees. She is very excited about Christmas, and I'm sure the next few years will continue to become more and more exciting, but for now it is magical seeing her light up during this season!

A short funny story- if you haven't asked AK what she wants for Christmas yet, you should. Her answer: "Chocolate!" I guess we don't give the girl enough treats, haha! Santa may have a little chocolate treat up his sleeve for her stocking!

Right after church. Mommy likes her pretty gold and white tree, and while I'm sure it won't live on too many more years, this year Anna was satisfied with putting the colored lights on the ficus tree.

"Mommy! Take my picture! Cheeeeeeeeese!"

Helping Mommy decorate the big tree.

Careful ornament placement is key. In Anna's world, that means on the far left bottom of the tree. All the ornaments.

This picture may not be great, but you need to notice the ornaments on the floor. Those would be the ones AK couldn't get to go on the tree, so once they hit the floor they were obviously no good anymore!
