I love Christmas! I love the music, the lights, the food, the gift-giving, the parties, and most importantly I love the reason for the season! I get so excited on Thanksgiving weekend to pull out all of the decorations and totally turn our house Christmas! I'm completely happy to say that I think my little boy loves Christmas just as much as I do! The boy loves all things Christmas. I mean, really, we went to Lowe's a few weekends ago on a Friday night just to look at the 'Christmas stuff' as Jack says. It was total entertainment for over an hour! :) It's great! He was very into helping with the decorating this year. He helped decorate the tree...and there were probably at least 20 ornaments placed within a 8 inch section of tree. Needless to say, we did a little rearranging. He also helped Daddy with the outside lights and was very excited to get to stand on the step-stool to help. Jack has also enjoyed the small navity that John's mom gave him 2 Christmas' ago. It's plastic, so he can play with it without us worrying about it and he loves naming all the people and then lining them up in a row. Rylee likes the navity too...except she likes teething on it. Do you think I should stop that? :) Rylee has been really good about messing with the tree so far. She's played with the bows on a few presents, but that's about it-thank goodness! Hopefully that will continue!
A few pictures of the decorating at our house:

Jack's tree-he wants to get a star for the top of it!
I haven't taken pictures of the outside yet...I'll have to do that soon!
