Well we are READY!!! Our Christmas tree is up (has been for a couple weeks now!) and the kids are so excited! We went and saw Santa at the mall and Ian wasn't so sure at first, but then he warmed up!! Miranda did great and sat on his lap and cuddled with him! Ian told Santa he wants a "grey bug" and I'm sure Santa will deliver because Santa is AMAZING!! =)
The kids loved helping put up our tree!! We have always lived in smaller spaces so our little tree looks a little silly in this big empty room, but we don't care!!! Miranda hasn't quite got the concept of not touching the decorations on the tree, but we have only had one broken one!! In Nik's family they have always done this tradition where the "Elves" bring little presents and leave them in your shoes at night the 12 days leading up to Christmas! He wanted to do that with our kids so that starts soon! We just love Christmas and decided to go back to Utah this year!! We can't wait for Nik to take his last test so we can leave!!! =)

We had the tiny tree for a long time too...so much fun. The elves are so much fun. Just wait until the kids go to school and then ask why the elves don't come to everybody and then you have to start getting more inventive and it gets lots of fun. I tell them it's something you have to sign up for. Love the stage when they won't leave the ornaments alone. My sister only decorated half her tree one year. Can't wait to see you guys.
I love passing on and starting new traditions with our own little family. It's really so much fun to be the adult at Christmas time. I used to miss being young and all of the magic that happens but now having my own family, that has totally returned. Have so much fun in Utah and be safe!
I love your tree and we have a small one too so don't feel bad... ours we have to put on top of a cedar chest so it's big enough to see out the window! HAHA We are going back to Utah as well. I hope you have an amazing Christmas!! You should follow my blog it's dandtmirci.blogspot.com (I saw your post about Shutterfly and stole it!)
