Christmas tree!

We got our Christmas tree last night and we are excited!! It smells so good- that smell alone makes it feel more like the holidays. Ella kept jumping around and squealing- it was pretty cute. Her excitement about getting a tree and hanging our stockings (or "socks" as she calls them) makes us remember how special all these little things are. She gave us a big hug and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!"
She thought the tree was "so beautiful" before we even put any decorations on. :)
When we got up this morning, she couldn't wait to get started on the lights and ornaments. Everytime we would add something new, she would say, "I love it! I love it!"

A train ornament she picked out because it looked like her gingerbread train...

We're going to wait for Chris to get home tonight to put on the rest of the ornaments and the star on top. Ella's so proud already...
