It was a little difficult getting motivated to decorate for Christmas this year, while it is still 75 degrees outside! Even though we will be in Montana for Christmas we decided we should still decorate for Avery's sake. On Saturday, we spent the day up in San Luis Obispo shopping and walking around and then came home and pulled all the Christmas stuff out. Ben and my first Christmas together all we had was one nativity set and one sad tree but each year it seems we add a box or two. And now, three Christmas's later, we have eight boxes of stuff and three nativity sets! To think what it will be like in thirty years?!
Anyway, Avery loved hanging the "earrings" (that is what she calls ornaments) on the tree, so of course, the majority of the ornaments are on the bottom of the tree. But it looks great anyway and we really enjoyed our day together as a family!

"Earrings" LOVE it! :)
I'm not really surprised about the earrings comment, very sweet.
I remember when Heidi was about Avery's age and her putting all the ornaments on the tree at the bottom, all in a "nice" little group. After she went to bed I moved them all spread out nicely over the whole tree, thinking she'd never notice. Needless to say she noticed...and still remembers to this day. Oh, the traumas of childhood! Just saying...
