Madeline's Christmas BoxChristmas has started a little early this year at the McDaniel house. We usually wait until after Thanksgiving to bring out our Christmas decorations and put up our Christmas tree, but this year I was very anxious. After seeing all the Christmas decor in the stores and seeing Maddie's excitement from it, I thought it would be fun to start early. So, our tree is up and the decorations are half way up. Our house is very unorganized at the moment, but I'm hoping in a week or 2 it will be all put together, and we can relax and enjoy the month of December in our Christmas decorated home. It is definitely my favorite time of the year, and I am so excited for all this season has in store. Madeline is so excited to celebrate Jesus' birthday, and asks all about the party and what kind of cake we are going to have. She also loves looking through the toy catalogs and Sunday ads to pick out which toy she would like to ask Santa for. This will be Madeline's 3rd Christmas and she is really starting to understand what Christmas is all about. I am talking to her about the season of giving and how we can give to our friends and family, and the less fortunate . I started a tradition with Maddie and this year she loved it. I have been collecting Christmas books, special ornaments, and little toys that she can play with every year. I let her open her box last week, and she was so excited. We have been reading her books and she was able to hang many of the ornaments on the tree this year. I am usually a perfectionist about the ornaments on the tree, but Ive decided to let that go this year. Its pretty cute seeing how she hung the ornaments and the ones she chose to hang in certain places. Here are some photos:
