This year, for the first time since we got married we’re not traveling out of the country for Christmas, so we were able to justify getting a Christmas tree. Anna’s been looking forward to this for at least the last year. Of course this is also Olivia’s first Christmas. For the occasion we decided to have a bit of photographic fun.

Below is a time lapse of setting up our tree. (We tried to end it with a family photo in front of the tree, but Olivia wasn’t all about it… it was definitely her bedtime…) Enjoy!
