One of my favorite things each year is to get our Christmas Tree and bring it home to decorate. This year, we got our tree, but waited to decorate it. It was just suppose to be the next day, but ended up being a few days that we had a bare Christmas Tree in our family room waiting for lights and decorations.
Emma was so excited this year. It was the first year that she could really help us decorate. We got out all the stuff, and started putting lights on the tree. I had purchased some new lights this year as our broke last year. As I started putting them on, we realized that we did not have enough lights, so Glenn went hunting. You would think you could find what you want in early December, but most of the colored lights seem to be sold out. Lucky for us, Glenn found our lights and bought several more boxes.
I also tried some ribbon on the tree this year along with our bead garland. it was really wide, and metallic, so really had a good shimmer against the lights. I was really happy with the overall effect.
Emma loved exploring the Disney Ornaments Glenn and I have collected over the years. I decorated the top half of the tree, while Emma did the bottom half. We had purchased her ornament this year, the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Balloon with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald. She was so excited to hang her ornament.
We thought our tree was beautiful, and plan to enjoy it throughout the season. Merry Christmas!

Halloween 2011
Halloween was very busy for Emma and I this year. We started our day dressing Emma up as a very warm Lady Bug and met Kristen, Grandma Kim and Uncle KJ at the Zoo. It was a cool day, so I had put several layers on Emma. She was very stylish with her blac velvet bolero and leopard print hat with pink flower. She made a very sweet lady bug.
Emma loves spending time with her Uncle KJ. They had great fun at the statue garden, climbing and posing. We saw lots of animals, and ended with lunch in the restaurant on top.
Emma and I picked up Glenn at work in the late afternoon. We had arranged to have dinner at my Brother Joe's house and let Emma go Trick or Treating with Pirate Cousin and Army Man. Emma had made a costume change and was now a princess.
Uncle Joe and Glenn took the kids out to trick or treat. It wasn't long before Emma was tired and cold, so they came back in. After a few minutes Pirate Cousin and Army Man headed back out for more candy.
Emma had a great first Halloween, and loved spending it with her cousins!
