Yesterday, we loaded up the girls and headed out to the local tree lot to find the perfect tree. Bundled up in hats, scarves, and gloves, we trecked through the lot for all of 20 seconds before the girls started complaining of being cold. And, I can't blame them. It was FREEZING! So, the girls and I headed back to the car while daddy braved the wind. He found a beautiful tree and it was being tied onto the top off our car in no time. Meanwhile, the girls colored and sang (you should hear Ainsley sing Deck the Halls) and laughed.
Every year, I get the girls a new ornament corresponding to what their current interests are. This year we wrapped them and they opened them last night to start off the festivities. Ainsley loves her Mickey Mouse ornament and Natalie loves her Barbie Ballerina. They were the first ornaments onto the tree. Most of our ornaments are glass balls - yes, I know, who thought of that in a house with a toddler and preschooler, but I'm happy to report we only lost one. We had such a good time watching the girls pick out where they wanted the ornaments. We also brought out the Fischer Price nativity and the girls have been vying ever since to be the one to play with it. When Natalie was bringing out the pieces, I heard Ainsley say, "Baby E-sus". So cute. I love this time of year.
