the christmas tree...

last week we put up our christmas tree. makenzie had so much fun decorating it, she was sad when we were done. here's a couple pictures of her hammin' up in front of the tree...






tonight we were driving listening to a cassette tape (haha!) of amy grant's OLD christmas album. there's one song where it says "you don't have to be a child to love the mystery" and makenzie asked me what that meant. i said, it just means christmas can be fun for everyone and that i love christmas and all the things that go with it and i'm not a child. and she said, ya christmas isn't just for kids, it's for everyone. and she said the cutest thing. she said, "but the bestest thing about christmas is that jesus was born". so cute!!
