The kids have been talking about Christmas since before Halloween, so this has been a long wait for them;) I tried to put off getting a tree as long as possible because I knew it would be a problem for Ben to not be able to leave it alone, but the kids kept insisting, so we went to get it. James was so excited that he started decorating it before we even took the netting off. We have far fewer decorations on the tree than ever before... only those that wouldn't get broken went on the tree this year;) The kids have had an absolute ball going through all of the decorations and playing with all of the "new Christmas toys". We have done a little decorating each day, mainly while Ben is napping. Grandpa sent down some of his special Chex Mix which we let the kids snack on... when it fell on the floor James and Ben immediately sat down and started shoving as much into their mouths as they could.... thankfully the floor was *relatively* clean... not much food gets wasted in this house;)
The bottom picture is from last Saturday when we took the kids to see the Sesame Street Live show at the Civic Center in an effort to take advantage of Portland's offerings while we are still here. The kids loved it and were all quite entertained by all of the music.
