3 feet of pure joy!

We decided to get Kaelyn a little 3 ft. Christmas tree this year to put in her room. After we set it up and plugged in the lights, she got really, really excited! This is the first year she has been that excited about putting a tree up although she has always been somewhat fascinated with them. She kept yelling and running around and wanting everyone to come look at her tree. She loved decorating it though she wasn't really coordinated enough to actually get the ornaments to hang so most of them ended up just sitting on the branches. It was very cute and I was happy that she got such a kick out of it. For some reason, she went back in later with her little step stool, climbed up on the dresser, and took all the ornaments (that she could reach) back off the tree and left them laying on the dresser. We never did figure out why she took them all off but I put them back on and she hasn't bothered them since.
Later in the evening, we started a fire in the fire place. You all can go ahead and laugh but it was under seventy degrees outside - probably like sixty-seven degrees. (The un-written fireplace rules say that as long as it's under 70 you can build a fire). :) We roasted hot dogs over the fire (mmmm) and marshmallows for s'mores (double mmmm)! It was quite fun and cozy and Christmasy!
