So I can see their faces, and all the excitement that comes with it.
We got our tree up last night, and I think that might be my favourite shot of the bunch... I love the way they are looking at the tree together, their interaction amazes me every single day!
It was a cold, chilly night... perfect for cozy jammies and twinkle lights!
We gave the kids an ornament each... something that is 'them', I want to ornaments to be a timeline over the years. This is definitely the year of Lightning McQueen (first of many probably! ha!) and fairies... soooo, guess what they got? heeee!
He was tryin'!
James tried showing him how to hang it... and that sort of became a game.
He was amazed! lol Every time Lightning was hung on the tree, he would break into huge grins! So cute! Yes... they did this over and over and over and over! heeee!
Here he is reaching to take it off, just so daddy can hang it again...
Goof ball!
Miss Laine was right into the decorating. She was careful to hang all of the breakable ones above Harley's reach... cause it is a tree full of balls to him right? ha! She did an excellent job!
I am now officially excited for Christmas and the Holidays! SO excited! I loved watching their faces light up... oh man, brings back memories of being a kid!
...oh, and Harley only threw about 6 ornaments today (he likes balls! heee!). Good thing only the plastic and other such ornaments are at the bottom! ha ha!
Your pictures are simply amazing! Love your blogs too!

I'm usually a lurker, but just wanted to say that this is beautiful :) Love how Harley is also wearing Lightning McQueen pjs and Laine with her Tinkerbell ones - they match their ornaments, hehe.
