CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS!
We spent an afternoon helping Gramma, Pappy, and Aunt Marcie's family 
picking out their Christmas Tree.




Then later in the week, we got our own tree and did some decorating....

Keira's turn to hang Grandpop Phil's favorite ornament....the red boot!

Claire's turn to place the angel!
TA-DA!



Hanging from the garland are angels from Grandmom Esther's angel collection as well as postcards passed down from my family.  Each postcard is over 100 years old. On the back of each postcard are handwritten sentiments and most still have the original postage too.  So amazing to have!

Glad that you, and your family members, keep the tradition of hunting for s beautiful tree each year. It's so sweet that the girls help you decorate the tree and y'all have a tradition of hanging Grandpa Phil's boot and the angel.
