The Lord has blessed us with a mantle in our home. From the time we signed the papers back in May I have been looking forward to hanging the stockings on it for Christmas. And as stocking hangers we used our favorite family toy...
While Ella was down for a nap we decided to put up the Christmas Tree. I know some people love putting on strands and strands and strands of lights... but to me, there is NOTHING like a pre-lit tree. Within 15 minutes the tree was put together and fully lit. =)
When Ella got up from her nap she could see flickering lights coming down the hallway. Walking down the hallway she was so excited to see the tree and kept saying, "WOW!" over and over again with her mouth wide open.
And of course she had to go investigate this marvelous contraption...
Every time she sees the tree (from the banister upstairs or when we go downstairs) it's as if she has forgotten about the tree and experiences it for the first time with "WOW!" She is so precious! Ryan and I find ourselves constantly laughing with her. We have so much fun together. I can't imagine how wonderful it will be when Micah joins us.
