Good stuff GIMA. You might not be able to see it, but WE can.
She makes a comment that "we" should do something in Dec? GREAT!
She didn't flinch when you wiped her mouth? GREAT!
Lots of joking and conversation? GREAT!
You bought a Christmas ornament as is your family tradition and she didn't negatively comment? GREAT!
I agree with Dia about the bed thing. If it was me, I would word your invite something like this. "I know you may feel uncomfortable sleeping in bed with me again because you may feel like I may expect things from you that you're not ready for if you did. I understand that. I just want to reassure you that if you would choose to sleep in bed with me, I would not do anything you're not comfortable with and would not pressure you in any way. I just miss seeing your face when I wake up in the mornings". If she gives you a negative reaction, pull back and do NOT act angry in any way. Just say, "ok, just wanted to make the offer. No big deal" and drop it for now.
Or something like that. What do you think? Do you feel she's getting close to being ready for that?
