Our family decorated for Christmas this afternoon. We put up our tree, hung lights in the family room, hung the stockings (which I still need to decorate with our names) and it feels so cozy in here now! The kids really enjoyed helping with all the ornaments and everything, and I really enjoyed watching the excitement in their eyes. One ornament did already get broken (one of Caiden's 1st Christmas ornaments, which was a little sad, but I'm not dwelling on it :-() and I chose to keep a couple decorations in the boxes this year to avoid anything else special breaking. I hung a few ornaments specifically up top to keep out of reach, but we mainly left all the ornaments hung right where they put them. :-)
After dinner, we rented a couple Mickey Christmas movies and watched one while eating popcorn and drinking hot cocoa with colorful marshmallows in our special Christmas mugs. When the movie was over, the kids got in their PJs and brushed their teeth, we did our Advent reading, took a link off our countdown-til-Christmas chain, and got the kids in bed. What a special family evening together.
