Holiday Happenings

We put up our Christmas tree and decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving.  I really wanted to get Ayla a little hot pink tree, but we already had this 4-foot one that was just her size so we found some pink lights to put on it and let her decorate it on her own.  It was so fun seeing and hearing her excitement as we pulled out all of the decorations.  I think I said this last year, too, but it's seriously so fun experiencing the Christmas season through her eyes.  

Last weekend, our Elf on the Shelf, J.B., came back from the North Pole to see us much to Ayla's delight.  She loves finding him every morning, but somehow, he hasn't impacted how she behaves.  Hmm...

Ayla's finished product. :)


I tried getting a few pictures of the girls together in front of the Christmas tree...this is as good as we're going to get!





Showing off her window stickers.

Snowman project!  I showed her how to do one and she went to town.  It turned out to be a great little activity for her.



Meghan and Heidi came over to play for a little while (they're in town from Ohio!)

Turns out, Ayla is a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to her projects...I thought she was going to pass out after seeing Heidi's Picasso-esque snowman.
