Putting up the tree is always a favorite activity for us! I love reminiscing over each ornament, whether it's the house I painted for my mom in the 3rd grade, Bella's "1st Christmas" ornament, or Steve's many motorcycles!
Bella loved the tree and all of the ornaments! It's been an interesting Christmas season with Bella this year. She's old enough to understand a lot more, and it's been funny to teach her about Santa and Baby Jesus all at the same time. Thankfully, between preschool and Sunday School, she's hearing a lot more about Jesus than she is Santa!
We have a Storybook Bible for Bella, and every night in December, Steve has been reading to her the story of Jesus' birth and the shepherds. She's done so well with following along that we decided to keep reading to her from the beginning of the Bible once Christmas is over.
Our completed tree! I love how round and fat it is! And the smell!
