Decorating the Tree

It's no secret that Christmas time is my absolute favorite time of year. November 1st I start listening to Christmas music and start Christmas shopping. I love how kind people become, the meaning behind it and the beautiful lights, delicious cookies and wonderful spirit.

This year we decorated the Christmas tree later than I ever have before. With 2 weeks till Christmas we finally found the time to decorate. In fact, we skipped going to Disneyland because we weren't sure when else we would have time to decorate. Our house was decorated around Thanksgiving but we didn't have our tree till 3 weeks before Christmas. Between Mathew and I traveling we did not even have one minute to. Besides the travel dilemma we also had Will's birthday to take priority. Before that, I was diligently trying to finish my certificate program (which I finished Thanksgiving weekend).

Decorating the tree was by far the greatest this year. William is much more aware of everything. He really had a blast putting the ornaments on the tree. He was adorable saying things like "we decorating the tree up" and "I love our family, we're all a family decorating the tree up."  He said this many times.  Sometimes he'd even be curious about the ornaments and ask questions. I love the curiousity of our little 3 year old. Will was very cute to cluster certain ornaments together so they could "be with their friends".

It's one week till Christmas, and it's going to be the best Christmas yet.
