We had fun decorating our Christmas tree. Lily has been dying to get the ornaments out. She asked me several times in the weeks before we got our tree if she could just get the ornaments out and look at them. Mean mom said no because if we did, we'd have ornaments and tissue paper all over the place until we got the tree.
We put our tree up the week after Thanksgiving. The kids were so excited. With every ornament she pulled out, Lily gasped and made a comment like, "This is so beautiful," or "I love this ornament because...." Both kids had a great time identifying their own ornaments and hanging them on the tree.
Carter has learned a lot this year about Baby Jesus' birth and the new star that Heavenly Father put in the sky at Jesus' birth. He calls it the Star of Bef-lem. It sounds so cute when he says it!
The ritual of putting the star on top of the tree has always been Lily's privilege. However, Carter is old enough to do it now too. Both kids wanted to be the one to put it on the tree. So problem-solver Lily came up with the great idea to do it together.
Voila!

What a sweet big sister! Really! We have the same star!
So, so cute.
As always, your kids are too cute! You guys take great pics of them. Which by the way, reminds me that J.J. has asked a few times about the picture of you guys you sent for Christmas. What he wants to know is, "How did they find such a beautiful place?"
Oh, cute Carter and Lily putting the star up! Cute! In a couple years it will be three little ones on Aaron's shoulders. :)
