Jill and Ella show off this year's tree before we head out to dinner.

At Big Canoe, Lolly and Ella make gingerbread cookies.

Its an annual tradition,

which Ella very much looks forward to!

Tada!

Jill joins in for some cutting and decorating.

So serious...

Later, the girls make popcorn garland for an outdoor tree.

Nana's Christmas cactus is in full bloom, right on time!

The Elf (which then-baby Ella named Cabra) is out.

THe whole house is decorated, but Ella is exhausted.

Another holiday tradition...
The holiday lights at The Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Kathy joins us this year.

This year, they had the large topiaries from Alice in Wonderland, which they decorate for the season.

We love the poinsettias.

One last playful shot...
