Oh Christmas Tree

As the boys get older, putting the Christmas tree up gets more fun. The boys remember their favorite ornaments and love putting them on the tree. The next few days are spent rearranging and playing with ornaments.

The first thing Charlie does when he wakes up is plug in the lights and open another door in his advent calendar. We were a little worried that Ben and the tree wouldn't get along, but he's been very gentle and just enjoys looking at the ornaments and lights. Sam loves taking down a few ornaments each day to examine more closely.

I have enjoyed the glow of the lights in the early morning and evening. Now tonight with the snow falling outside the window and the lights inside, I can't help but love this time of year.

Merry Christmas!
