decking the halls

Yesterday, Mike's facebook status perfectly summed up our morning:

Christmas music on. Snickerdoodles baked. Holiday Starbucks. Tree and decorations going up. Perfect december Saturday morning!

It was a great day. Although, decorating with a 2 year old is a little ... different than decorating with a one year old.

Don't worry, he still loves the lights.




He was alarmed at the tree at first, but after we reassured him that it was okay to have a tree inside, he became a big fan. He pulled a Clark Griswold and personally inspected each and every twinkly light.



I'm not kidding.. he had to touch each one. Fun.






Once it was all deemed up to his standard, he tore into the ornaments. Quite literally.



More than one round ornament was dunked through the basketball hoop or thrown like a baseball. Boys.

These white and red ornaments for some reason were dubbed "cake" and he kept trying to eat them. I'm sure these $4 chinese ornaments are safe to put in your mouth.


The traditional topping of the tree with dad! We've come a long way from having Colin in the baby bjorn while we top the tree.


The first thing C did this morning was ask us to turn the tree lights on, so the tree is growing on him. And by 11 am, our broken ornament count is only at 2! My next project will likely be relocating all ornaments to the top 2/3 of the tree.
