A Little Bit of Christmas Before We Left...

I so love setting up the Christmas tree every year. I love that that kids are so excited about it too! The excitement lasts all of five minutes (for them),... just long enough for me to empty out the Christmas bins and for them to climb inside.  :) But still, there's something so cozy about having a Christmas tree lit up in your living room. It invites snuggles! ...and that's THE BEST PART.

We found this huge leaf when we were outside putting up the Christmas lights.

 So excited about the leaf!!!

We took this picture to wish Mandy a Happy Birthday. It was Aaron's idea to blow up the balloons! He's so clever!
