Gearing up for Christmas

We spent the weekend after Thanksgiving decorating for Christmas.  Coley was in charge of setting up the tree and putting up the outside lights.  Abigail had a great time helping us decorate the tree.

 And here is Michael.....  he was so much help, he ended up in the Pack 'n Play. :)

 Abigail loved hanging the crocheted snowflakes on the tree.

While decorating the tree, Coley gave Abby a present.  I love the look on her face.  She wasn't quite sure what was going on. 

 Once she opened the present, she was thrilled.  It was a "My Little Pony" ornament.  She told us thank you several times and kept telling us how happy she was.  It was really sweet.

We also had a present for Michael and Abby to open together.  It was a box of little "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" board books.  Coley found them last year after Christmas and we wanted to be able to read them (or eat them in Michael's case) this year.

What better way to end the night than by reading bedtime stories with Nana in front of the Christmas tree.  I love this magical time of year!
