Deck the Halls

As I mentioned in the last post our Christmas tree was rather large once we got it home. Matt quickly put the tree in the stand and oops.... It tipped over. So with a little creativity and power tools of course Matt was able to make a better tree stand. I was not willing to just start putting decorations on it for fear it would tip again. But never fear the tree did not fall all day and so we spent the evening putting up all the ornaments. I was quite surprised that Ethan and Hudson both wanted to help. I mean I expected them to be interested for like five minutes but they were really focused. It was so cute to watch. Hudson thought it was just as much fun to take the ornaments OFF the tree. Each year Christmas is more fun. There is nothing better than watching it through a child's eyes. Tonight my Mom told the story of Three Kings Day, which is what they did in Puerto Rico. Growing up on the island she did not know about Santa Claus. So as a new fun tradition we will be celebrating Three Kings Day with the boys while she is here visiting. That will be a new post for tomorrow.
