It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

The Christmas season is upon us, and I have been waiting for the whole year! Don't get me wrong, last year was an amazing time to share with our then 5-month old daughter, but this year is something else. Mary Ellen is taking it all in, and I had no idea how fun it was going to be to watch her get so excited about the lights and the songs and, of course, Ho Ho.

First stop of the season: The Winter Park Christmas Parade.

Waiting for the parade to start. Such cuties!

She really enjoyed catching the candy when we finally scored a seat near the road. Like mother, like daughter.

 Mary Ellen's glimpse of the Big Man.

 After the parade, it was time to pick out the Christmas tree. We got a great one, and it's been up for a whole week now. Too early? I think not!

 Such a big helper:  hanging up our new advent calendar. This one came courtesy of my friend Alie, who started a crafting blog to raise money for American Cancer Society. Check her out - she's a really creative chica!
