Decorating the Tree - 2009

Abby has been so excited for Christmas this year! She is finally old enough that she has really grasped the concept of Santa Claus and all that he represents. We decided not to procrastinate putting out the tree and decorating, so that Abby (and we) could appreciate Christmas for as long as possible. The Monday after Thanksgiving, we had a little Family Home Evening lesson about the true meaning of Christmas, and then we let Abby help decorate the tree. It was a really great night, and the spirit of Christmas has really been in our home! Now if we can just get Abby to remember it isn't all about the PRESENTS!!
