This weekend we got out our Christmas tree! Ethan was so unbelievably excited to set it up. After the decorating work was done on Sunday, we popped open a bottle of sparkling cider and let him have a wine glass along with us to drink from. We all said "cheers"... a lot... we gave a few toasts, and he did as well. His toasts turned into prayers, which was really cute, telling God what a wonderful day it was, asking for health for me and baby, telling God how old each of us are, etc. Before bedtime we turned off all of the lights and sat in front of the tree with a snack. He was absolutely beaming all day long. What a fun time of year for little ones :)
Then today he pulled a dough ornament off the tree that we made together a few years ago, and asked if we could make more ornaments like that one. So we did, we made 6 ornaments this morning and then painted them after rest time. I told Steve that at this rate we will run out of Christmas activities long before Christmas gets here. Steve didn't think that would be a problem.
