Deck the Halls

While the boys were napping, Daddy and Abbie decorated our house for Christmas. Abbie was a great helper for Daddy. She was very excited for it to be Christmas time. Nathan was little scared when he woke up from his nap and found we had decked the halls, but he quickly warmed up to the idea and now loves Christmas lights. He can spot them miles away while riding in the van. The next morning when he came out of his room and the tree lights weren't on, he was very concerned that the Christmas tree was broken. Mom saved the day by turning the lights on (oh, that it will always be that easy!), and now Nathan is the first one every morning to insist that we have our Christmas lights.

Abbie and our little tree. She decorated most of it by herself.

The next Monday for FHE, we made the traditional paper chains to count down the days until Christmas. Between our chains and preschool, Abbie knows exactly how many more sleeps until the big day.
