And the Christmas outings begin

There is a little carnival called Winter Wonderland set up where we got our Christmas tree. All the proceeds go to Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital so there was no way we could pass up the opportunity for a little bit of Christmas fun and at the same time helping the children's hospital.

She LOVED the carousel which is a major turn around since Halloween when we tried to ride one at the zoo. She loved riding on the giraffe.

 We also took a little train ride. Love, love, love these two!

The Sumralls joined in on the fun.

She loved the carousel so much we had to ride it twice, this time the elephant.

The little elf that thought she could...

 I will have to say that past years it has been MUCH easier to decorate our house for Christmas but not nearly as much fun. This year we had a little elf to help us out a bit...or so SHE thought.

Picking out our Christmas tree. She was sooo excited she just kept screaming Christmas freee and running around like a crazy girl.

 It's funny how she wants to do EVERYthing we are doing. How can you resist this cuteness though?

Our little elf thought the ornament boxes were stools...she has a bit to learn before next year rolls around.

She did a great job hanging the ornaments though. She has that down pat. We have only had one glass ornament shatter.

But then she thought maybe it was a good idea to get under the tree... Oh Santa, you have some training to do.

She was soo proud of her work though.

Little girl, did we forget to tell you that the decorating is complete?? Time to go to bed!

She had to take a small break and give a call to the big man up north.

Then she felt the need to take some pictures of her work. She hangs with her daddy too much.

Aren't I supposed to be taking a picture of you???
