Today Natasha & I had a little outing to a mall. I promised her that each year she and her sister would each get to pick out a new ornament for our tree. Well, being as Veronika is recovering from a cold and it being the last weekend before Christmas, I did not want to drag her to a germy mall with us. Plus, I needed some one-on-one time with Miss. Big Girl.

I was really impressed when Natasha headed straight for the store’s “blue” ornament section; our tree is blue/silver themed so I guess she knew she needed a blue-ish ornament. She found her perfect ornament about five minutes later. She did not like any of the fancy ones, but she LOVED this very shiny and sparkly blue ball one.

She then picked out an ornament for her little sister. This is Veronika’s ornament-

She had a lot of fun looking at all the decorations in the stores. We then picked out some blue and silver “filler ornaments” for our tree to make it a little more interesting. Matthew’s planning on doing a completely different color theme next year, but we’ll see about that.
