Getting ready for Christmas!

Today, while N was eating lunch, I thought maybe I would start prepping him for Christmas. We discussed how we were going to start decorating the house today, and how soon we would get a tree, and if he was a really good boy, Santa would leave him presents under the tree. Then, a little later, he was resisting naptime and I said, "N, you need a nap so that you will be happy tonight." He said "Where are we going to go? To Christmas?" Maybe I should have just waited. 4 weeks is going to seem like eternity to a 3 year old!

We decided to take advantage of the rare occasion where both kids are napping at the same time this afternoon and put up the christmas lights. Just as we were almost done, Miss M woke up. Since she loves the outdoors so much, I decided to bundle her up and help S finish the job.

That tongue is almost always out these days! :) Silly girl!

She just looked too cute in her snowsuit, so we had to take some pictures!

N woke up as we were finishing and was very excited about the lights and of course wanted to help. We have a little tree that we put in the porch, so N and S stayed outside and decorated the tree with lights. After he came in, I let him have his first ever cup of hot chocolate. He said "Mommy, I like it! It's so yummy!" Looks a little like his Daddy with that mustache! :) 

I am so looking forward to the holidays this year with the kids. N is so into the lights and Santa and just the holiday in general, whereas in past years I think he didn't fully know what was going on and M just enjoys everything, so it should be a blast!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Love,
