Lily's First Christmas Tree

 In Southern California, going for a Christmas Tree may be a little different.  We don't have snow on the ground and a petting zoo is part of the experience as well as a few rides.

 Lily just jumps in, no matter what we do!  She has just jumped into this life and never seems to question it or to even look back.  She loves everything and is fearless.

 Emma Lily, and Meilynn

 I am usually the one who picks the tree and this year I chose it in record time!

 Nothing more special to me than Daddy with his girls trailing behind him.  I can't wait to see one more there.

 Our tree all wrapped up!

 Lily excited to put her first ornament on!  Kami helps her.

 She is always so happy

 With their handprint ornaments.  We made one for Emma's first Christmas and then we did the same for Meilynn and then Lily.

 Not only did Jilliana get new boots, but so did  these three!

 Emma found a pinecone at Kami's soccer game and brought it home to decorate.  I love how creative she is.

 She loves to paint

Our lives are very busy, but I cannot imagine life without my precious girls.  We are very excited that Lily's friend Lyla will be here in only two more days to visit.  We have some really fun things planned.  As I am writing this at 9:30 I am waiting for Mike to get back from Urgent Care.  He was riding his motorcycle at the track and hit a rock just right and flew over the handlebars.  His shoulder is hurt and my oldest daughter, Kami is with him, since I had the girls at Choir practice.  Life is never dull!
