This year's decorating festivities were the most fun they've ever been. Jonah and Brady really enjoyed watching Jeff put up the tree and the lights. Right before their eyes, we transformed our house into a Christmas scene and they loved it. They even enjoyed "helping" place an ornament or two on the tree. What I loved was that without being told, they knew not to bother the hanging stockings on the mantel, the garland lining the banister, or the sparkly bulbs that hung from the tree. My boys...they never cease to amaze us. How many other one and two year old's would have adopted the "look but don't touch" policy so successfully and willingly? Because we now have children, this year we decorated the outside as well for them to enjoy. Nothing too grand-I'm sure with time we'll grow our collection of lawn ornaments, but to start, Jeff put two reindeer on the front lawn, decorated the front window, and hung a string of lights along the the garage. It was simple and understated, yet very lovely and festive. We are just so excited about Christmas this year!
