O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

The neighborhood it starting to look a lot like Christmas.  This week, while walking around the block, Madeline has been so excited by the lights.  She stated, "I want lights on my house!"  We figured it was time for us to get in the holiday spirit this weekend.  On Saturday, we pulled the Christmas decorations out of the closet and spent the majority of the day doing Holiday preparations.  Madeline can proudly say that her house now has lights and she is very excited that she has a tree in her house!  Tonight we decorated the tree and she loved looking at all the ornaments.  Here are a few pics to share:

"Look, there's a tree on our car!"

She had a lot of fun pulling the ornaments out of the box.  When we asked where one should go, her standard response was, "On top!"

Happy to find a penguin

Putting the snowman on the top!

Mmmmm, cocoa!
