It was so cute.<br />
<br />
Tonight Dan was so sweet to bring home Chinese food, so I wouldn't have to cook. It was sooo good! I think it's my new favorite Chinese place. After dinner I worked on a project for "Super Saturday", which is tomorrow. Then we played around the tree again & the kids made another movie via my Macbook & Camtasia. I think this is becoming our nightly tradition: gather around the tree, dance, play, & make a movie. :)<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures of our tree & those sparkly ornaments Chloe loves so much...<br />

There's something magical about gifts under a Christmas tree. It's a reminder of love & kindness from family & friends. It also reminds me of the gift that Heavenly Father gave us all....the gift of his son, Jesus Christ.Crystal Wilkersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12587353193014956808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721065994340775095.post-88342937877935009852010-12-01T21:23:00.000-08:002010-12-01T23:59:30.173-08:00Danced Around the Tree...Tonight I danced around the Christmas tree with my kids. We turned off all the lights, so that just the lights on the tree were shining. I turned on "Jingle Bells" & the kids made a little movie. It was fun just basking in the magical glow of the tree & spending time together. I love December.<br />
<br />
I also spent WAY too long creating my Christmas playlist, but it was fun & now I can enjoy it for 24 more days! :)Crystal Wilkersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12587353193014956808noreply@blogger.com0
