Making Christmas

We're finally getting into the Holiday spirit around here. At least a little. Having kids really changes your perspective on Christmas and basically any holiday. Ethan loves looking at all the Christmas lights people have put up and he loves our trees (yes, Trees). This year we didn't just set up our normal big tree, we bought a little three foot one for Ethan to have as his very own.  Erik's mom visited this past weekend and reminded us about how she did that for Erik when he was little. She also set up Advent bags for Ethan. Each bag has a surprise in it and he gets to pick which one he wants every day before Christmas. My mom also got him a chocolate Advent calendar. I think he is one of the most love spoiled and spoiled kids I know.
Anyway. I hope everyone isn't thinking too much about how much time there is left to finish shopping as much as we should all be thinking about how great our lives are. If I don't post again before Christmas, Happy Christmas Everyone. Don't forget the reason for the season. Love you all!
