I've had a lot of fun this year decorating for Christmas! Last year we really didn't decorate since we had just moved into our house and weren't even in town long enough to enjoy it. Plus in years past, we've had a 4 foot Christmas tree that was "child-proof". Well this year our tree is definitely not child proof but I guess we took the risk.
It's been great watching the kid's faces every morning looking at the tree and turning on the lights and train underneath it. We also figured out that the train calms Christopher down and sometimes puts him to sleep! Last night he was really fussy and after a while we weren't sure what to do. So we just sat down in front of the tree and turned the train on for Matt, and Christopher just watched it go around and round for a while and stopped crying! We'll have to try that again!...maybe we should keep the train out year round! :)
Daniel was in the Christmas spirit last night and decided to wrap two presents and put them under the tree - just to get a few wrapped slowly over the next few weeks. And this morning when we came out of our bedroom, Matt had unwrapped one of them completely. I guess he thought Santa had come and brought a present for him and Katherine! Wasn't a very exciting one for a boy though!:) I think Daniel figured they would get opened so that's why he only wrapped two. But I guess we'll be waiting to wrap the rest until later!
