Before I had the boys I could throw up the tree and have the whole house decorated in a matter of hours-my, how things have changed. It took me two days just to get the lights on the tree and all the ornaments on and the poor boys had to stay locked up like this....begging to come out!
but was it ever worth it, once I finished and let them come in the den to see the tree and all the other decorations...
(YEP that is an octagon around it...it is Brennon and Cayden proofed..ha ha)
It was ALL worth it and those feelings about the holidays grew about 1000 times. These pictures don't do justice to the expressions on my sweet angels faces. Brennon kept giggling and looking at everything and Cayden just wanted to touch everything. Every time they walk by the lights or the tree, they start pointing and smiling. Now that I have them and am blessed enough to watch Christmas through their eyes...it truly is MAGICAL!!! It has taken on a whole different meaning to me! I pray all of you have a Christmas just as magical!

What a beautiful tree! So fun! No wonder the boys were so mesmerized!
I love your tree, it's beautiful! I put the lights on our tree last night after Lucy went to bed - it's not decorated yet...one step at a time. This morning when she woke up it was still dark out and we turned on the lights on the tree and to see her face - she looked at the tree like it was the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. I know exactly how you feel when you saw the boys eyes light up over your tree. You said it perfectly - their eyes - that's the Christmas Magic. We love Christmas too, the lights, the smells, the music, the traditions - even thought they don't always go how we have them planned out in our heads. The kids don't know, they just know it's beautiful!
