Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

After getting back from our trip to St. Louis, I was eager to get our Christmas tree.  Several rainy days delayed us but we finally headed over to the base of Signal Mountain to our favorite tree lot- and the only one we have seen in the whole Chattanooga area believe it or not.  We seem to always end up going at night and when it's really cold!

Fun flashback:

Putting on ornaments- the "safe" ornaments at the bottom of the tree are mostly wooden ones that my family hand painted when I was a little kid.  *Notice the angel ornament in Amelia's mouth :)

getting Daddy to help her hang the ornaments- Amelia's favorite ornament is a Polar Express jingle bell.  She loves to grab it and will walk around making it jingle while she giggles

caught this picture as she was running away with ornaments to throw them on the ground

listening to Daddy tell the story- very briefly that is :)

talking about baby Jesus- Amelia is really into babies right now
