O Christmas Tree

I love getting a real tree every year. Scott wouldn't have it any other way even if I did want a fake tree. I love how the fragrant pine smell fills up the house and sets the atmosphere for Advent. Guess it's a good thing I married an arborist! Putting up the Christmas tree was a lot of fun this year. Olivia had squeals of excitement at each ornament she unwrapped and wanted to know why it was special, because every one is you know. Her delight was absolutely contagious! Ethan calls the tree "Christmas" and is fascinated by the lights. Olivia helped Daddy put the star on top and Mommy strung the lights. Ethan will probably want to help more next year and not just want to chuck the bulbs.
