Christmas readiness started early this year

Clair started asking about the Christmas tree in October. The girl has plans. She wanted the tree up the day after Thanksgiving. My rule is that it has to be December. Well, she won! 

At nine she is full of energy and joy and love for the world. She is so excited for Christmas and the magic. She believes and loves with her full heart. This makes it magical for us both and I decided to try to indulge as much as I could with her this year from the early tree decorating, to all the traditions she remember, to the early arrival of the Elf, to shopping for siblings, to decorating, cookies, fudge, countdown chains, oh my! 


She decorated her desk. 



She brought Christmas decorations up from the basement storage and put them out herself. 




The elves insisted we continue the cherry pie tradition after tree decorating Continues. 














Walking in the Christmas Parade with Girl Scouts and enjoying giving out candy from her Santa sack. 


After the parade. 


Small crew this year waiting for Santa. 



Santa gave her a present. 







She won the guess for one of the candies and Aliza won the other one. 






Visiting Santa with Gramma and her cousins 




We even ordered matching PJs which I’ve never done with her!
