Deck the halls

Time to decorate!  Perfect activity for a freezing cold day!  We started our Advent Calendar and we read a new Christmas book each night in December, it is fun getting excited for the holiday.  The boys are exciting, and H keeps reviewing the fact that "once we do all of the envelopes (pockets) on the calendar, it will be Baby Jesus's birthday?"
 Our Nativity scene.  Tatum had to check out each decoration.  Somehow Baby Jesus ended up in the pen with the sheep and shepherd, and everyone else: the Angel, Wise Men, Mary and Jovis (H still calls Joseph "Jovis") are all in the manger.


 Too cute!  We moved things around to make room for the Christmas tree and C decided the basket was just right for him and his "Disaur Asnaught."  He stayed in it singing "Jingle Bells" for quite a while!


 Picking out a Christmas tree, excited to see Santa Claus!  H ran over and gave him a hug!


 They had a blast with their new friend at the Christmas Tree store running between and around all of the trees.  Such fun!


 Reinder antler glasses?


We usually save Baby Jesus as the last ornament, but this year decided to take it out first, trying to keep the focus on Him.  Each ornament that H picks out, he puts next to Jesus "oh, a candle!  So Baby Jesus can see!"  or "A bell to make music for Baby Jesus" and so on.  Makes me happy!
