Getting Ready for Christmas

Things were very hectic around the Miller house between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We had lots of fun though. Hannah Claire was very involved this year with our festivities. Well, once she woke up from her nap. The kid was snoozing one day when we got home from church.

After her nap and a clean diaper HC was up and ready to help start with the Christmas decorations. We have a small tree in our living room that we hang all of our picture Christmas cards on. One of my favorite things of the Christmas season is checking the mail every day to see what beautiful pictures we receive. Shane is so sweet to save them for me to open because he knows how much I love it. The tree would be bare up until right before Christmas if we didn't put anything on it so we put some traditional balls and strings of silver beads. Enter Hannah Claire for assistance.

She was very helpful until the strings got wrapped around her ankle.

She recovered nicely and proceeded to ponder where to put them.

We also got out our bell tree. Hannah Claire loved it.

She loved it so much she felt it necessary to lick each and every bell on the tree. I guess it is clean now.

After lots of decorating a girl has to look through the sale ads for any toy ideas to tell Santa.
