We love decorating for Christmas! As soon as Thanksgiving is over, out comes the Christmas tree and all of the other fun Christmas decorations! Last year Brooklyn was only 4 months old so she really didn't get too excited. This year however is different. Brooklyn loved seeing the tree and got so excited as we were setting it up!
She loves all of the lights, and the pretty
plastic snowflake ornaments that just happen to be in her arms reach
A tradition that we started is for each person to pick out a new ornament, here are this year's selections.
All done!
This is just a funny picture
One day while Greg was at school studying Brooklyn and I made a chain-link countdown for Christmas.
She was such a big help trying to cut all the strips!
We even made a Santa for Christmas day, which she loved to hold
Our finished product!
It is so much fun to be able to decorate for Christmas, and it is even more fun watching Brooklyn stare at all of the lights and decorations. She was been so good with our tree! She will go up to it and poke the lights and kiss the branches, but that is about all she does with it. It is so nice not having to worry about her breaking ornaments, ripping open presents, or pulling the tree over on herself. Christmas is going to be so much fun with her this year!
The parade was on the river between the two bridges
There were a ton of boats all decked out, but here are just some pictures of our favorites
After the parade was over they had a HUGE, amazing firework show! It was seriously the best firework show I have ever seen!
To start off the finale' there was a waterfall of fireworks coming off both of the bridges. It was definitely the hi-light of the show, and our favorite part!
Brooklyn had so much fun watching all of the lights and especially the bright, loud fireworks! We can't wait to go again next year!
