Today we got up and got to decorating our tree. Daddy and Mama said this is the smallest tree we have ever picked out for our house. Next year we won't be picking it out in the dark and Daddy and Mama might have a little bit more say in the tree we bring home. BUT it's still a perfectly shaped tree and it will look beautiful when it's all decorated!

                                    

We had lots of fun decorating as a family. Daddy got all the lights on and we all put the ornaments on. And it looked beautiful!

                                    

                                    

                                    

                                    

                                    

Small but beautiful. And ours!

                                    

Later we headed downtown to check out the Capitol Christmas tree and the gingerbread Capitol! Both were looking great!

                                    

This year's Christmas tree came all the way from New Mexico!
 
                                     

                                     

                                    

And the gingerbread Capitol was looking, and smelling, as tasty as ever! They had lots of mini, sparkly gingerbread people scattered about and they were so cute. They even had a real train running through the tunnel!







                                     

                                     

                                     

                                    








                                    

                                     

                                    

Then we went down by Yards Park and had dinner at El BeBe. It was tasty and delicious! Who doesn't like taco's and queso?





                                    

                                     

And we got to pass by the Union Station wreaths on the way home too!
