It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

This weekend we decided to deck the halls. Daddy brought in all the boxes from the garage and the boys "organized" all the ornaments...

 

Only two glass bulbs were busted in the process. Thankfully no one was injured, and we proceeded to place our heirloom ornaments on the tree.

Wyatt was a real pro; he didn't need any help at all this year!

 

He soon grew bored with the decorating, though, and decided to play with the bins instead. Three is such an interesting age. One minute he's begging us to play with him, and the next minute he wants to do his own thing. And if there's something we want him to do, well, good luck with that.

 

Little Colby enjoyed carrying ornaments over to the tree, but the putting-them-on-the-tree business wasn't his thing. He did hang his big letter "C" for us, though.

 

After we finished, we stood back and soaked in the beauty of our family Christmas tree. So luminous! So bedazzling!

 

And then we put a big ugly gate around it and called it done.

The dogs were thoroughly impressed. Can't you tell?

 

Later, after the boys went to bed, Mommy wrapped a mountain of gifts and placed them under the tree. Guess what happened the next morning? Yep, poor little Wyatt came downstairs and thought all those presents were for him, and he was determined to open them then and there. Mommy was finally able to talk him into waiting until Christmas to open the gifts, but now he asks every few hours when Christmas is going to be. So cute!


We have one more little tree to show off. This is the tree in our playroom.

 

The boys decorated it all by themselves with a little help from Mommy. It even has little Lego ornaments.

It sure is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
