It's beginning...

...to look a lot like Christmas at our house! We got our tree Friday night and started decorating it on Saturday morning. Griffin seemed a little confused at first as to why we had a tree in our house, but after we got the lights on he started getting excited. He had a hard time keeping his hands off the tree...it's soooo tempting (:
Ronan got really into putting his ornaments on the tree all by himself. He would pick each one out of the box carefully and ask "Who gave me this one?". He was also really interested in the manger scene and ended up playing with the figurines for almost an hour! His preschool class will be singing Away in the Manger at their little Christmas program. I heard him practicing at home one day and I asked him if he liked that song, and he said, "Yes, but Mom, I don't even know what a manger is". I told him what a manger was and we found some Christmas books with pictures of mangers, so it was really cute watching him play with the manger scene for so long.
