Christmas

Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of the year. Decorating and spending time with family just makes me so happy. This year is even more special because it is our first Christmas in many, many years that we are all together. My mom and dad, my sister and her family and us. It is so great having the family together again!

Here Samara and Annorra are doing their part to beautify our Christmas tree. We had the festive music on and let the kids do all the decorating. It was so fun to watch them put all the ornaments on and see how proud they were of the finished tree.

Emma loved putting up the ornaments and wanted to show off her favorites. She did a really great job of decorating and would proudly come running to me every time she successfully hung and ornament, yelling " I did it, I did it, I hung it on the Christmas tree!"  Here she is showing off the Vermont Teddy Bear Ornament that her Grandma Nancy bought for her. 

  Here she is showing off the snowflake ornament that her cousin Evan made for our tree last year. Below she is sharing her favorite red bell.
