It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas*

Tucked snuggley into bed under the tree Madeline, is awaiting Santa's visit. It has been tradition for her to sleep here on Christmas eve.

Every year, I buy her an ornament that she gets to open befor bed. I started this the year she was born. The plan is when she grows up and has a tree of her very own, she will have a tree full of ornaments that she has saved over the years.

The process (backwards of how it happened)
OUR TREE:



It looked so much smaller before we cut it down.

How does Santa manage to leave his gifts under the tree? He must be very clever and quiet.

Have a wonderful holiday with your family that is gathering at your mom's in NY.

See you guys in a few days...don't have too much fun before we get there!

That's a neat tradition you have for Maddie, I didn't know about it.

That is a good idea about the ornaments, maybe I should start doing that for Anthony.
See you soon, were in the car now, only 2 hours into the drive and Anthony is already fussing. I think it's going to be a long drive. But at least were on the road, Rachael and Derrick are still packing up the car.

Your tree is so pretty. That's such a good idea to get Madeline an ornament each year. I wish I had thought of that.
