Making Magic

This is our first year of doing Christmas on our own. I feel the pressure. Christmas is such a magical time, and I feel the sole responsibility of making sure my sweet kids feel, and more importantly understand the meaning behind the magic.

Last Sunday we decorated our tree. Audrey decided it was a girl tree, and she was so feminine in the way she went about putting up the decorations. This was the victory dance that was done after every ornament was put on the tree. Not quite sure what Joshua is doing. P.S. He is wearing a sleep sack...it is like a permanent blanket while he sleeps, and it makes it so he can't climb out of his crib. Genius, I know.

Almost finished. I love how most of the ornaments ended up at the same height, her height.

Then in true tradition, we sang Silent Night as Audrey put the star on the top of the tree.

Joshua's turn. Anything Audrey does, this little boy wants to do too.
