Last night we got the Christmas boxes down from the attic and decorated our tree. Our poor Christmas tree was bare for over a week. It was a week full of littles trying to climb it. Ryenne pretty much understood what the tree is for ("for presents to go under, of course!") but Kai being the boy that he is decided it was meant for him to climb on, to hide behind, and as her personal doo-doo spot.
"Where's Kai?".... "Oh, he's behind the tree making poops in his diaper!"... yes this has been our week! heehee
We put on Peter's favorite Christmas Album - a DJ had taken all the golden oldies and re-mixed them into new sounds. It's fun and funky. And we couldn't help but look at each other and giggle when Pops says, "What's wrong with this CD? It sounds like it's skipping and the beat is all messed up??" - yes Pops I know you're reading. It was hilarious!!
Ryenne was thrilled to put the "ordaments" on the tree and I followed her by moving them from close to the ground to high up the tree. We didn't even get through half the box of ornaments before we stopped.... just couldn't put more on that tiny top half of the tree!
The stockings are hung on the stair banister with care.... they look great staggered up the staircase like that.
Kai went to bed nicely last night and so did Ryenne. For the first night in a while, she didn't fight me. I slept really good and it didn't even bother me that Kai boy got up at 6:00am this morning!
Today is Christmas Eve! A day of total and complete excitement for tonight Santa visits. This could quite possibly be my favorite night of the year!
