I can't believe it's Christmas...
my favorite time of year!! Emily has been watching Veggie Tales Christmas and says this often. She is very much into repeating things that she hears. She sings in the car often too. It is so cute to hear her sing "God you reign" or "Holy, Holy, Holy" in the back seat of the car. I often wish I could stop and record it because I want to remember it forever. I love this girl!
She found a Charlie Brown Christmas card in Grandma's Christmas stuff, it is the kind that has a little recording when you open it up and this particular one has Linus explaining what Christmas is all about to Charlie Brown. She loves it and listens to it hundreds of times during the day. She now walks around saying "Glory to God in the Highest" I love this girl!!
After we put up the Christmas tree I explained to her that Christmas is about Jesus and it is when we celebrate Jesus' birthday. So now she likes to tell people that Christmas is all about Jesus. I love this girl!!
We put up the tree a few weeks ago and Emily loved it. She was really able to get into it this year and hang ornaments all by herself. She hung them all right in the front in one little cluster. Each morning when she wakes if the tree is not lit yet she asks me to turn it on and then sits on the end of the couch nearest the tree and snuggles in with her blankie to watch her show.
Zachary update ~ he got his Christmas leave approved and to bring Em and I back with him after Christmas!! So he will be coming on the 19th and we will leave to head to Pensacola on the 27th. We already have a really nice apartment there and I am so excited to be able to see him everyday again. It will be a little while before he can actually stay the night with us during the week though... more paper work needs to be signed after we get there for that to happen. At least we can see him everyday and for that I am extremely grateful!! Our apartment will be very empty while we are there as all out stuff will still be in California and we won't be moving it until we get out first duty station. So we will be sleeping on an air mattress and eating with paper plates and plasticware. That's okay though we will still make the most of it. I am looking forward to doing a little exploring with Em and visiting the white sand beaches.

I can't wait to be there with y'all! It is going to be an extra special Christmas this year. ( Just because I haven't spent time with y'all in so long) I love y'all!
For sure, decorating the Christmas tree with the kids is the best part of getting ready. It's good that you are capturing it, even if you are separated from Zachary for a while. Nice photos.
I was really surprised that Emily actually enjoyed having that hat on for extended periods of time. Ah... Clumps of Christmas ornaments.
