Pre-Christmas preparation

Christmas preparations around our home consisted of us putting up the Christmas tree in mid December, due to Charles' travel schedule after we had Lexi's baptism and Ella's birthday. Then we make some holiday cookies. This year, I really enjoyed decorating them. And finally, leaving the cookies and milk and apology letter for Santa. Boy, was Ella ever surprised when she came down on Christmas morning to find that Santa HAD stopped at our house!
