We finally decorated our Christmas tree this past Monday - sort of. I let the girls put the decorations on themselves. To the adult eye I'm sure it just looks horrible, but to my little sweethearts it looks magical. They absolutely love it. Yesterday morning they came in and asked for pens and a notebook to write Santa a letter. When I came out of the bedroom ten minutes later they had 10 or 15 of the notebook papers ripped out of the notebook and placed strategically on the tree - they had also taken out all of the VHS movies from the drawer and put them under the tree with the presents. They are so funny. This holiday season has been amazing so far with the excitement they have over every little thing - Gracie about hyperventilates every time we see Christmas lights. Now, if only it would snow....

O, Christmas Tree!
We went to Utah last weekend. We have a little DVD player in the car which gives us a bit of peace and quiet when we travel. The girls are obsessed with Aladdin right now and so they watched it on the way down and on our way home Sunday night. Jeremy and I were talking in the front seat when Whitney said, "Daddy, did you know that Jafar is a treacherous villain?" They crack us up on a continual basis. They also know all of the songs to the movie and just sing their little hearts out. It is great.

How cute. Just think how fun it will be next year with a little one crawling around! I love how they are in their nightgowns from Grandma VanDyke-Savannah loves hers, too. She calls it her 'mermaid.' (who knows why.) Can't wait to see you again after Christmas!
Your tree looks wonderful!!!! It has snowed a ton here so I bet you'll get a lot there too. I can't wait to come and see you guys for the girls early birthday party. We went out and got them presents on Friday-Ty couldn't understand why I wasn't buying them the gifts that cost $50....I know, I'm so cheap!!!!
We are excited for you to come too! I can't wait until Christmas and their birthdays are over so that I don't have to hear "I want that" for EVERYTHING they see advertised on t.v.
