Getting Ready for Christmas

Since we never got around to sending out Christmas cards this year, I figured we should at least post some Christmas pictures of our little beauty helping mommy and daddy get ready for Christmas. Madeline is crazy about Christmas...the lights, the tree, the presents...and the cookies! She just can't get enough.
Here's Maddie helping mommy decorate the Christmas tree. She was such a good helper!

She loves looking at the tree. She knows she isn't supposed to touch and we've only had to pull her out of it a couple of times, which is MUCH less than I expected!

She has her own ornaments at the bottom of the tree that she can play with. They are plastic, which is good because they usually end up in her mouth or bouncing off the wood floor!Look mommy...a SNOWFLAKE!

Here she is playing with Great Grandma Guire and her cousins, Randy and Clara, on our cookie making day. GGG came over to help mommy bake cookies and Jess & Julie stopped by with the kids for a visit. It was raining outside, so all the kids played in the ball pit.


Shopping around the Christmas tree...I just can't get enough of her in this tutu!
We'll post some more pictures soon (we plan on taking Madeline to see Santa on Christmas Eve...we'll see how that goes!)

Your lil girl is soo precious!

How do you keep her from knocking over the tree? I was so worried my daughter would attack the tree this year now that she is older, but no, it doesn't even exist to her. If it did, I think we would have to fence it in somehow, I think she could easily knock it over!
