This weekend we got the bulk of the Christmas decorating done, and things are looking great. I put up the outside decorations and Jean and McKenna tackled the tree (after I managed to get it setup without it falling over on me like last year :O).

My two favorite moments from today:

– Cole coming into the den after his nap and seeing the tree for the first time (we kept him out of the room while setting up the tree and decorated it while he was snoozing). He was so surprised he went “Gah!” and just stared at it, eyes wide, with a grin on his face for a long time. Classic.

– After dinner, McKenna goes into the den while we’re cleaning up. The lights are low, the tree is on, and she’s sitting there quietly singing Christmas songs to herself. Awesome.

Life, as they say, is good. 😀
