getting ready for christmas

 Saturday morning we put up the Christmas tree!  Oh how I love having the girls this age!  They are just so excited about everything and the tree was no exception!  They were so cute putting up the ornaments.  They loved that my parents and sister were still here to be a part of the fun.  Caimbree was especially fun to watch this year because it was the first year she really got it.

Now that the tree is ready, the girls spend a lot of time reading around it.  We had our first Christmas family night last night and the girls are so excited about the #lightTheWorld challenge this year!  They are already planning ways to lift others this holiday season and I love their excitement about it.  Today Savanna and Caimbree were playing with the Nativity all day and telling each other the story of Jesus' birth.  It was so sweet.  I love how tender their sweet little spirits are at this age.  They are such wonderful examples to me.  It is going to be a great Christmas season!
