Christmas Decorating

The day after Thanksgiving we decorated for Christmas. We were all alittle tired from the day before, but we were all too excited to let that stop us from decorating. The boys had fun looking at all the Christmas decorations as we got out all the boxes and went through what we wanted to put out this year. We knew that we would not be able to put up much with little hands. The weather was nice outside, so the boys got to play outside in the front as we got our boxes down. Then we put them down for a nap and went outside to hang our Christmas lights. There is a cold front coming and snow for Sunday, so we knew that we wanted to try to get it all up before the snow came. As the boys got up, they came outside and they enjoyed playing outside and being part of the process of hanging up lights. They also enjoyed the nativity that we put in our front yard. Peter loved carrying the pieces around the yard. As it started to get cold outside, we took the boys inside while the rest of the family helped clean up outside. The boys love the decorations and they love to sit on the sofa and look at them. When it got dark outside, Joshua and I took the boys out in the front to look at the lights. The boys were so excited about them. We really enjoyed spending time together as a family and decorating for one of our favorite holidays. This year is going to be so much more fun with the boys.
