Christmas is Coming

The day after Halloween Ella asked me if we could put up the Christmas tree, for me that would have been fine- but Ryan said we had to wait until after Thanksgiving.

So, the day after Thanksgiving Ella came to me and said, it's after Thanksgiving and I want to put up the tree now.

After two hours of digging through the storage unit, we finally found about half the Christmas stuff. I wasn't going to keep looking for the other half.

The kids really enjoyed setting it up and decorating it. Even Jack had a lot of fun and was very gentle with all of the ornaments.

Is it sad though, that after the kids went to sleep I took it all apart and put it back together?

Those were tester presents, to see if Jack could stay away from them.

He couldn't.

Two mornings ago I walked down stairs to find wrapping paper everywhere.

I'm sure he was disapointed that they were empty.

Now there is nothing under the tree. I guess that will make Christmas morning that much more special.

The start of the holidays season!

I love Christmas time!
