But I'm getting ahead of myself. We picked out our Christmas Tree a few days after Thanksgiving. Jonathan went with us and helped us chop it down. We opted for small hoping it would be safer for Madeline, but she actually did great not tearing anything off of it or playing with the tree.
And we made a Madeline ornament like we did last year. This one was much simpler---her profile printed on shimmery, textured paper and tied with a ribbon.
Christmas weekend it snowed---A LOT. Madeline loved watching it fall and playing around in it later.
On Christmas Eve, we opened our stockings. Madeline loved pulling everything out, regardless of the stocking. Grandpa Boehle sent Madeline chocolate covered marshmallows and I promised to give her one of them. Here's the proof! She loved it :) She also got coloring pencils, a pad of paper, a book, a broom, and a princess crown...and that was just her stocking! Spoiled rotten she is! (These are almost all of the gifts we got her though.)
After Madeline went to bed, I started putting gifts from our family under the tree and Andy finished putting together Madeline's learning tower. The tower to is help her reach the kitchen counter so she can help us chop and stir and whatever else we do up there. She has always taken an interest in seeing what we are doing and wanting to help...and it is getting hard to hold her for too long (25 lbs of baby will do that).
Are these for me?
Something new to push around!
New shoes! With heels! Oh my.
An awesome hat-purse with a shiny new personalize dish for us!
Once she found the tower, she was in love with it! She kept climbing up and then asking for help to get down.
Cookie cutters
Her new table with her pencils make for a great end of Christmas!
