John left for a trip the day after we brought our glorious tree inside, so I set up the tripod to capture just a couple of photos of the girls and me. I wasn't going for award-winning photos here; I just wanted to document that I was, in fact, present, too!
LE and I decorated our tree together while Hannah napped. This was the only time that she was allowed to touch the tree. Surprisingly, this hasn't even been a temptation for her.
After the last ornament was hung, LE snatched up her whole collection of nativity kings and Christmas sock monkeys (she has 4) and demanded, "Take a picture!"
We then went to my friend Monica's house for a quick cookie decorating playdate. Monica has two kiddos-- Oliver and Natalie-- whom LE adores. "Olligar" is a year older than LE, and "Nallie" is a year younger.
In case you weren't aware, decorating cookies is very serious business.
Advent traditions are well underway!
What a great picture of you and your girls! I'll have to remember that trick with the tripod. Do you have a remote shutter? Or just set it on a timer?

Thanks, Angie! I bought a remote for $20 from Amazon just recently. There's an option for 2 sec delay and another for instant. So far it's been worth the money. :)
