Setting up the tree...

Before I get to the tree pictures, here's one of my sweet, sick little boy. We all have awful colds, coughs, and sore throats, but poor William also has an ear infection complete with goopy eyes and a runny nose.

I just love this boy! Sick and all.

Ella enjoyed putting on the ornaments.

It's become tradition that every year Ella gets to put the star on top. Not sure what we'll do next year!

But William still got a peak!

The pretty star.

My sweet boy.

Changing some ornaments around.

There's that concentration tongue.

Ella really, really enjoyed getting all the ornaments and decorations out. Our house is now well on its way to being christmas-ified. :)

On another note we've been talking about the true meaning of Christmas, and tonight Ella was very inquisitive as we lit our own (paper) advent wreath. I'm finding it hard to explain heaven and Jesus coming to save the world, etc. It's taken Ella over an hour to go to sleep tonight (out of bed multiple times) because she keeps talking about the things we talked about earlier. How do you explain this to a very inquisitive three year old?
