It's Beginning to Feel a lot Like Christmas!

Would you like to know my favorite thing about being a home owner? Well, one of my favorite things? It's decorating our yard for Christmas. We normally try to do this the weekend of Thanksgiving, as we did today.

The main reason we decorate? This face...


Ethan loves Santa. He's such a great helper, holding him up. Please ignore where his head is...that's the thing about candid photos...you just can't avoid moments like this....


Oh look....my feet....


Sorry, I digress...

Anywho...my favorite time is watching Ethan's face as we get the yard ready. This is his favorite time of year. Not because of the presents, but because of the decorations.


And how can we say no to a moment like this?


Or a moment like this...which (I might add) doesn't come along very often..Did you know that 4-year olds don't like to pose for pictures that much? I had to bribe him with the inflatable Santa to get him to do this...the things a parent will do to get a good shot...


More pictures to come hopefully tomorrow.
