This year when Paul put up our tree and the boys and I were to decorate it. Well, the only decoration I could find was a roll of tinsel in the box with the tree. So we put it on the tree with the lights. Aden and Andrew found some red crepe paper so we put that on the tree. Then Andrew found a balloon we had been playing with and put that in the tree. So we decorated our tree this year with balloons. And we think it's great. A fun new tradition I hope. And there are also some random Blue ornaments on there too. I want to find the box with the other decorations though. There are some new 'classics' in there I wish we had on the tree. Oh well, one of these days I will live in one place...

Chucklin' Charlie.
He digs the W the P crowd.

I could not get a consensus on footwear, they had already been dressed in their new shoes 3 hours and somewhere they got taken off.

We have been getting ready for a very exciting Christmas! The boys are so fun and enjoying all the anticipation. We have sent Santa a letter, gotten a response, visited Santa, put up our tree, put up our Nativity scene (Thanks Aunt Michell!) and taken some pictures for our Christmas card.
What do you think? I think they look great in front of our Andrew's all-original idea balloon Christmas tree. Also about Aden's forehead; he does have a small scratch on his forehead. The band-aid was all his doing. He found it, opened it and put it on his boo-boo all by himself. Pretty proud of himself on that count. And I think it was a world-record for continuous band-aid wearing in our house. Almost 36 hours! Good job, Aden!
Aden is all about Santa Claus!
I'm not sure what Charlie is thinking. Maybe 'what is it?'
This is the only picture I could get of Andrew while we were at 'Breakfast with Santa'.
He did not sit on Santa's lap. ;-P
Charlie is trying so hard to catch up with the boys. He is a great babbler and 'says' mamama and dadadada, but blowing raspberries is his favorite pastime. I think we really might be getting close to a tooth. I think 6 months old is a fine time to get a tooth. Plus he has actually been cranky lately.
Trying to post more and more often. Inspired by my BFF Lisa to create a memory book from the blog postings! You can thank her if you are reading this in a book!
