We got the tree up and decorated this last week. This little angel is one of my favorite ornaments. It's one that was always on my Grandma's tree, where I spent every Christmas until the 2nd year I was married. She's so dainty and sweet. I find a pretty spot just for her before all the kids ornaments go on. Just thought I'd share one of my silly traditions, not any real reason, just something I do. Kate was super excited about putting the ornaments on, so I let her put them on her own way (which was all in the front and center in one big lump) and then did a little arranging myself. She seemed fine with that, just so she got to do some hanging. At one point she gave the tree a hug, cause she says she really loves Christmas....
And...don't tell her teacher, Mrs. Kurka, but when I asked Kate what she thought we should get her for Christmas, she said "A carpet square. A pink one." Sounds like the perfect gift for a pre-K teacher. Anyone know how to wrap a carpet square??
While the girls were doing the decorating, the boys were playing their almost-every-night game of chess. I was taking pictures of the tree, etc. and happily caught this shot:

Great photos!
Beautiful capture of the guys. Yes they look so much alike it is amazing. Katie makes Christmas full of the "childhood wonder" which slips away. I love the picture of her by the tree, and your little ornament. Oh the differnces in guys and girls, huh?
Love, Mom
