It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!

On Saturday evening we got our Christmas tree and trimmed it! In the six years we've been married, this is actually the FIRST year we've gotten a tree and gone "all out" for Christmas. We're loving it, and it's making the colder weather and our first snowfall (which was last night) a little easier to accept. This is the first Christmas where Leo has been old enough to really understand what is going on, and Ben and I have had a lot of fun creating new family traditions.

Some of our family traditions include...

• Putting the Nativity Set up after Thanksgiving
• Getting our tree the first weekend of December
• Having Christmas music playing throughout the house regularly
• Family prayers with Leo each evening in front of the Nativity Set
• Allowing Leo to press the button to light up the tree every night before prayer time

Leo was so excited that we had a TREE in the HOUSE!

The LOVELY nativity set Ben's mom got us last year for Christmas, repainting each figurine by hand! What a beautiful and thoughtful gift!

Merry Christmas!
