The last few weeks have been very full with Winter celebrations and preparations. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, our little family attended the tree lighting ceremony in the little town that we live in.
Then last weekend, we started a new (very old) tradition of leaving carrots out in the little ones' boots by the front door on Saint Nicholas Day, December 6th.
The next morning, Sienna woke up to find that Saint Nicholas had come during the wee hours of the night. He left her a Satsuma, a honey stick and a new book. And for Forest, a Satsuma, a honey stick and a Kleen Kanteen tippy cup.
Later that morning, it was "watch week" at dance class. Her lavender dance studio was all decorated for Christmas.
And then, we went to the Christmas Tree Farm to choose our tree. Sienna helped David carry the tree to our car.
Forest stayed bundled up and cozy with Mama.
This year, Sienna begged us to decorate our tree with all of our Christmas ornaments. So, it is no longer just an animal tree, but a tree for all. Forest points at the tree and says, "Wow!" whenever he sees it.
We love our new to us Christmas tree skirt! We thrifted it back in November for just a few dollars and it is handmade.
I'm sure there will be many more special moments to share with you in the weeks to come.
