Avery's Pictures from Christmas Morning

For Christmas, Avery got a camera from my parents.
It's one of those super durable, low quality picture ones made just for little kids.

It's pink and purple and flowery and she LOVES it.

Avery just went around mostly taking pictures of whatever Lexi was taking pictures of.

Lexi's Pictures from Christmas Day

 Lexi LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her new camera.

Since she got it on Christmas morning, she's taken 378 pictures and videos.

Yep, she's my child.

She's really excited to start doing her own blog post.

She's totally my child!

So, here it is - pictures that Lexi took (all by herself) with her new camera.

A picture from one of her early reader books.

Recognize this Michelle?

The view from their bedroom window.

Lexi propped up her stuffed animals on a bin and used the couch as the backdrop.

A picture of a book she made.

A picture of the line she'll be reciting in an Operetta in February.

Pictures of these that she's memorized.

My Christmas Tree

 I know I haven't shared pictures from Christmas yet but I'm so excited about my latest purchases.

I have to preface though.

Back in August we found a Christmas tree.

It was inside a box. Sitting next to one of the dumpster in our apartment complex.

It was pre-lit and bigger than our tree.

So we grabbed it and put it away with all holiday decor.

I pulled it out last month.

The tree was in good condition.

But I didn't really have enough ornaments and decor for two trees.

So I remedied that today.

I headed to Hobby Lobby this morning and helped myself to tons of Christmas decor marked 66% off.

SCORE!
Then I headed to Sam's Club and bought 82 ball ornaments for $19.

AWESOME!

I was so excited that I put up some of the things I bought on our tree today!

(I know it's the day after Christmas and I'm decorating our tree.)

As you can tell from the picture above, the bottom of our tree is a little thin.

So I bought three pre-lit strands of garland to place in the inside of the tree to fill it in.

But I'm not gonna try it out until next year.

Hope it does the trick.

...

And here's come pictures of our tree.

I not sure exactly what I'm doing but I love how it's all coming together.

Now, I want to figure out how I'm gonna spruce up our other tree.
