Oh, Christmas Tree!

This is the first year since Elijah was just a little baby that we've been able to put up a Christmas tree. We were so excited to get it out! It was fun to show the kids all the ornaments and let them help. They loved decorating, and Elijah especially is very proud of the job they did. Most of the ornaments that we used this year were Patrick's or mine when we were kids. Elijah enjoyed finding our names on them, and "Elijah" and "Molly" on the few ornaments that we've collected for the kids so far. Molly knows which ones are hers, too, and loves to point out the letters that spell her name.

"Ooooo, shiny."

Look at what we did!

Elijah got the big job this year.

Admiring their work.

We're so thankful for our new place and the little luxuries we've missed lately, like having a Christmas tree. Merry Christmas!
