Fa la la la la

I love decorating for Christmas. I love the sparkly lights and the bright tree at night in our living room. I like watching Dave go up on the roof obsessing about and trying to figure out how he set up/connected the lights last year, waiting for him to bang on the roof to let me know I need to come outside for something. I love watching Tyler get in to the excitement of helping us and he was in full swing this year. He insisted on getting up on the roof with Dad, but I only let him get as far as climbing the ladder, and he strategically help us put eyeballs (have no idea where he came up with that) on the tree, being very careful not to break any (boy what a difference a year makes!). We didn't know what to expect with an almost 2 year old and a Christmas tree, but he's been great and spends most of his time around the tree counting ornaments! Elf on the Shelf made his appearance tonight and I'm sure you can guess the name Tyler gave him...Pee Pee. Dave wanted to name the elf Snoop, but he lost the battle and Pee Pee is now out and ready to watch over us until Xmas! Now we get to sit back, relax and enjoy the season!

And our stockings are zip tied to the stairs with care...
