We definitely got excited for Christmas this year, mostly because having children really brings the magic and fun back in this all-time favorite holiday! As is the tradition, we attend Wolf Trap's Christmas Caroling with Opah on the first Sunday of December. And yes, it's been bitterly cold the past few years! With hot cocoa, doughnuts, and bells in hand, we enjoyed an hour of caroling and jingling as we sang some classic and favorite tunes. Ella was great, despite the cold although Caroline found it hard to enjoy the night. Even though we had blankets to bundle up in, she sat through a few songs before finding that it was more enjoyable to walk around! For the second year now, Sparkle, our little elf came back for his morning visits and challenges the girls to find his new hiding place. Ella was totally into it and even Caroline eventually understood the new tradition; wake up and "where's Sparkle?" It was very cute to watch them scan the house looking for him! And finally, the stockings were hung and the tree went up!
Caroling at Wolf Trap...it was cold!
Ella with her Opah
Caroline "helping" with the tree decorating...more like "un"decorating....one ornament on, one ornament taken off by Caroline!
Decorating the tree!
Christmas is alot of work...taking a car snooze...
Watching Tim light a fire for tree decorating...
