The weekend after Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas tree. Ever since our 3rd Christmas (after our real tree fell over & broke ornaments) we have been putting up an artificial tree. As a child we always LOVED going out & picking our tree from a tree farm, and part of me misses the thought of doing that with Anne Marie. We did decide however to start a new tradition with her. We've called it "The 23 days before Christmas". (I'll post pictures & more on that later). 
Anne Marie putting her "special lady-bug" ornament on the tree that we bought her last year.
We are just SO excited about this "1st Family Christmas". We let Anne Marie help with the ornaments (the lower ones of course). She just loves all the Christmas decorations. Every time we go into Target and look at all the lights, ornaments, and animated figures she says "Wow!". It's just so cute!!
Our Christmas tree is very "organized" -- don't worry, we have also bought an artificial-pre-lit-colored-light-tree for all those fun-kid-friendly-ornaments for next Christmas that can be put in the family room in the basement (we're still working on it, so we'll have to wait for next year to celebrate in the basement). Anyway, our tree has glass ornaments in green and pink with Angles and Santa's on it. We were talking to her about Santa and when we showed her one of the ornaments and asked her who it was she said "NOAH!" We just laughed and realized that she thinks that Santa looks like her grey beard-grey haired Noah from her little people Noah's Ark. Now, every time we're in town and see anything with Santa on it she says "Noah"! So funny -- we're going to HAVE to get that on video so we have record of this for the future!!

We think that our Annie is extremly smart to notice the similarity between Santa & Noah!! Perhaps we should have a small Noah's ark themed Christmas tree!
