The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we returned home from a wonderful trip to my parents and decided to get busy with Christmas! That night, we went into our shed, got out the Christmas boxes and got to work on decorating the inside and outside of our house. We put up our tree fairly quickly, admiring especially all of our hallmark collector's ornaments we have collected throughout the years. Both kids were really interested in their "baby's 1st Christmas" ornaments this year and thought it was funny to see pictures of themselves as babies in the little frames. Alex was puzzled as to why he was so much bigger in his picture than Amaya was in hers.I ahd to exlainto him that he was 9 months old on his first Christmas because he birthday is in March, but Amaya was only 1 month old on her first Christmas because her birthday is in November, only 1 month before Christmas comes. I think he got it! lol This year, we also let each kid pick an ornament from the Disney store of their favorite character to add to the tree. Alex of course picked Mater from Cars 2, and Amaya picked Rapunzel from Tangled. No big surprises there! Once the tree was up we all headed outside to work on the lights the next day. The kids sort of helped us along, while Abe and I put together, put into the ground, strung up and plugged in the lights. I have a few pics to show you our Christmas spirit here in Middle River!
