Getting ready for Christmas!

Well, I have been hanging e-ornaments on friends trees that have pages on Facebook and that got me thinking about all that we have been doing here to get ready for Christmas. We just put the tree up on Sunday and it turned out to be a very beautiful tree. We used some ornaments we bought from a year ago but were brand new. Rhett and Ava were just so estatic to be putting it up that they were bouncing off the wall! Ava of course had to hang the ornaments herself....we only lost 2 of the frosted glass balls. Yep, they shattered very nicely on the tile floor. Ava was singing songs and was so happy that her "house looked like Christmas". I would love to hear about some of your experiances with getting ready for the holiday.....and see some pics too! especially of your trees and decorations....
