I got in the Christmas spirit yesterday and was ready to decorate! Bella and I were listening to Christmas music and got the decorations out. Then Bella and I went and bought just a little 5ft fake tree. Maybe one day when we are settled we'll get a big tree. I put the tree up last night when she was in bed and this morning she was SO excited to see the tree. She was speechless, haha. The tree came with lights so that was all it was this morning.
We then decorated it and she LOVED that part. This year I think she'll enjoy Christmas. She already knows what Christmas is about. We ask her what Christmas is and she says, "Baby Jesus." Next year after she actually sees what she gets at Christmas this year her answer will probably be PRESENTS! Hopefully not though.
And ta da! Ok so we still need a star and maybe a pretty skirt, but here it is for now. We've had all the ornaments from the company that worked next door to where I used to work in Utah. So it's not the prettiest but Bella had a blast decorating it. :) One day we'll spend money too on pretty decorations.
Once again, the boys slept through the festivities! Dave said he wants to go out in the snow and cut his own tree down, that's how it should be done apparently. (And that's how you know he is from Chicago and I am from AZ!)
And we are working on smiling. Ever since she learned to say "CHEESE!" she gives this goofy tooth smile. Perfect timing for our Christmas cards :)

She is so gorgeous, even with the toothy grin!
Bella's eyes are so beautiful I can't handle it! I feel like she has turned into a kid since we last saw her. Also, when I looked at that pic of Gaines it so reminded me of when Triston was a baby. So cute.
I wanted to start decorating at the beginning of November because I love christmas decorations. I've held off a little but will probably start soon. Love the cheesy smile. Haha. Awesome. I totally would want a real christmas tree too but chad has convinced me otherwise. Must be a 'growing up in a cold city' thing.
That's about how my tree looks too! Someday, I'll have a nice tree with nice decorations, but for now, I love my little Charlie Brown with my old ornaments. LOVE the cheesy smile!
Ok, those pictures of Gaines are SOOO cute! How did you get him to sleep in the bowl like that? Oh yeah, babies sleep anywhere at that age don't they? Well, Bella looks so Old! These latest photos look like she is 3 or 4! She must have matured since little brother came along or something (; Brooklyn totally does the same thing when she sees the camera - totally cheesy smile.... OK, I just need to call you - but I'm in Canada until next week - then I'll call you and we can catch up! ...wish we lived closer together!
