advent:


gabrielle and i put up our christmas tree last sunday and 
waited all week for ben and paul to get back from
their travels so we could 
decorate!


finally we got everyone together and had a very fun evening....


even roxy got in a festive mood.
she loves it when we are all in the same room together.
i do too!



we all have our favorite ornaments to put on the tree.
gabi got on face time with margo so she
could be part of the tree trimming as well.
where do you want your elephant ornament to hang, margo?


tree- trimming and carols and a glowing fire through the evening
and just enjoying  our time together.


we each choose a new ornament every year.
here are some of our new ones.
i love the polar bear.  gabi loves the hippo.




finally, the star is placed on the top.
i thought it was gabi's turn this year, sebastian!!




our merry christmas tree.
