Christmas at Our House

We were going to be on the road for the holidays, but we still wanted to get a tree and make things festive around our house. So, we took Olivia to the "Ludington" tree lot. It is a tree lot we found our first year here that is about 2 miles from our house and the trees actually come from Ludington, MI. So we have gone there every year and have always had a lot of luck getting good trees. Olivia loved looking at the trees and helped us pick out the "perfect" tree. She enjoyed decorating it, Tigger the cat loved hiding underneath it, and Buddy...well he was just good at knocking the ornaments off from it. What Olivia loved the most was sitting in her rocking chair everynight looking at the tree while I cooked dinner. She always wanted the lights on and made sure that she said goodnight to the tree each night when she went to bed. We opened a few presents before we left for Michigan and as you can see she got an art easel (this was from GiGi and Bumpa) and she loved it...so much so that she had to kiss it. She is quite the performer.
