Our Tree

So last weekend, we put up our Christmas tree. Jolee was beside herself with excitement! It was so much fun to watch her this year, she was very much into decorating it, talking about all the ornaments and where they came from and who's ornament is this and what about this ornament? Gosh, it brought back so many wonderful and exciting times of when I was younger and put up the Christmas tree with Joseph, Mom, and Dad. It was always a family thing, that we did together and we would talk about where our ornaments came from and so forth. So reliving it again, through my little girls eye's was so much fun!

This year, our tree is different in the way that it is decorated. Jolee loved and was so excited about hanging the ornaments, we let her have at it! So at the top of the tree, we have a star, then it just has lights until it gets within Jolee's reach and then all the ornaments are at the bottom. We let her hang them, where and how she wanted to. So again, our tree....star, nothing, ornaments at the bottom but all the way around the bottom!

And we wouldn't change it, for anything!

I can not even describe to you, the joy Silas and I felt watching her that night. And the joy beaming from her!

Jolee and Mommy!

A glimpse of our tree. Some branches have like 5 ornaments hanging from one branch and her reasoning is...they need their friends to hang beside them at Christmas! Gosh, I love her!

She loves to just go and sit and look at the Christmas tree. So, these days if you can't find her or if she is really quiet, that means you can find here up front, looking at the tree. She also, loves to take her new book that Pappy and Granna gave her up there by the tree...It is a Christmas book that is recorded in their voices, so they read it to her several times a day! Her favorite thing, is at night when Daddy comes home before bed time, they will both go and lay on the couch and talk about and look at the tree! Sweet, Sweet, Memories!
