Isabelle got to put the star on the tree this year!! She was so proud!
Isabelle with her stocking on her head, saying, hohoho!!She was having so much fun finding all her favorite things.
Ian with his stocking on his head. He was following sisters lead! All though his head seemed bigger than hers, trying to get the stocking on. lol
Ian starring at the tree when Brian turned the lights on. Like I said his eyes tell it all.
Daddy and Ian "working" on the Christmas tree, well, really just Brian. lol
Well, we finally give in. This year it seems like Thanksgiving is being rushed along, and fast forward to Christmas. My theory, we feel as though this thing called The "Christmas season" goes so fast we want to get a jump start to hold onto it just a little longer. Who could blame us right!
Our reasons for putting up our Christmas stuff early:
We have two cute kiddos, specially the four year old, who has been asking for about a month or more now, we need to put our Christmas stuff up guys! She thinks if the stores are doing it, well, it must be time for us to. She's right you know, if you see it everywhere, why not join in on the Christmas spirit of things.
We will be doing a combined Thanksgiving/Christmas this next week. Yeah!!! Of course we need the Christmas tree for that. Right? Izze says, absolutely!!
We have had new conversations this year with the kids, or really Isabelle, about giving, and what it is to be Thankful, and what is Thanksgiving, why we do certain things, or don't do them. She is growing up too quickly, and sometimes I feel like I want to skip the tough questions because I feel like she is so innocent to have such big questions sometimes. Then I think, I would rather her hear the truth from me instead of someone else, so I begin....
Our house inside is beginning to look like Christmas, and soon the outside will too. I love looking at the kids eyes/faces when the tree lights up, or they find all the treasures of ornaments, stockings, and fun things, it is so magical to them. Ian was only one last year, so I don't think he remembers much, but this year his eyes tell the story!! Izze remembers her special things from last year, the reindeer we put under the tree, her little Christmas books, her fan, musical note paper, the little doll ornament Nanny Carol got her, she has her favorites, and she found them all. These are the moments I treasure, and will continue to treasure for many years to come.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.........
