Getting Ready for Christmas

Today we started to get into the Christmas spirit around the house. First, we strung lights on the tree this morning. George's favorite part was that I let him climb the step ladder to get a closer look. He went up and down that step ladder about 50 times! After his nap, we headed over to South Pearl Street where they were having a Winterfest celebration. There was music, some booths with food and gifts, and the big guy himself... Santa! This was George's third visit with Santa this year and by now, he was completely comfortable with him. He strolled right up and even let Santa pick him up and put him on his lap.

Isabelle and Michelle joined us - how cute are these two kids?!

It's too bad it was so cold today, because they were also going to be doing some ice sculptures and hay rides but we had to go home to get back where it was warm. When we got back, we put our ornaments on the tree. George helped. Two ornaments broke. I don't think they'll be the last this season.



We had a great day together and I know that each year Christmas will just get more and more fun with our G.
