this year we made our christmas gifts for all the grandparents. the girls and i had a great time doing it all, its not much but hopefully its the thought that counts:)
and now that its is mid December we finally have fall.
spence and the girls worked hard to rake up all the leaves. the girls really are great helpers, they really just want to do whatever we are doing.
one night spence got home early so we headed to walmart and got a live christmas tree!!
the girls were so excited to decorate it. the tree is better than a true charlie brown tree, it might only have lights up half way and only a few ornaments....but it smells like christmas!
this is the first Christmas that girls are actually aware of all that's going on.
we watched polar express and the girls were very inquisitive and wanted to know who the old man in the red suit was, the elves, the north pole everything. it felt a little weird to be telling the girls this big elaborate story of all these characters knowing that just in a few years we would be telling them....never mind we made it all up. but it is exciting to see there excitement and joy of this special time of year.
