celebrating the season

 

this year since we are going back to boston for christmas, we did not get a real tree, so we have our fake tree for the years we are going to be out of town.  we dragged it out of storage and i put it together yesterday.  today mile and i decorated the tree.  it was so much fun watching him pick out his favorite ornaments and hang them on the tree first.  then we would talk about all the other special ornaments we have and the stories behind them.  usually i am very picky about not bunching ornaments together, but miles did a pretty good job at spreading them out, so it didn't bother me.  miles told me "our tree looks fantastic".  i just love that kid.  maisy just hung out under the tree while we decorated.  she kept trying to but the plastic ornaments in her mouth.  i love christmas and i am now finally getting in the christmas spirit.  decorating the tree always helps. while i was at my crop this past weekend, i made my 25 days of christmas book.  i can't wait to add these pictures to it.  it is going to be such a neat way to remember all the fun things we do during the christmas season.
