Allie reading a few of our Christmas books....
Last year at this time, Paige was content playing with tissue paper and empty boxes in the bassinet.
What a difference a year makes. She was just as excited as Allie about decorating. When she came down from her nap the lights were on the tree and she said "peety" (pretty). I could have bet Geoff a lot of money that is what she would say. She loves "peety" things! She loved looking at all of the ornaments and was very gentle with all of them. Allie loved looking at all of the ornaments and playing the musical ones to show Paige.
There is something magical about decorating for Christmas. We had lots of "wows" as we decorated. I love looking at each of the Hallmark ornaments and remembering Grandma Rosie. She LOVED selecting just the perfect ornament for each of the grandkids. Gramps still keeps up the tradition and it is always fun to see the new ornament that will join the rest on the tree each year. We inherited a few of Gram's decorations, so it is fun to see all the Christmas stuff around the house. Tis' the season!
