Day after Thanksgiving

Dan's Dad spent the day at our house. Before he came over though he had been to three stores to try and find Sara the game she wanted, braving the black Friday crazies. Sara really enjoyed having Grandpa here. He played games and then he and Dan put up Christmas tree.

I gave Sara a bag full of plush ornaments that I had and ones that she couldn't hurt. I told her that she could either play with them or put them the tree. She spent HOURS putting them on the tree, taking them back off, and putting them back on. Tonight she put a lot of the plush ones in her bed to sleep with.

Sara and Dan love the Christmas tree. They sang Christmas carols tonight and sat with Brennan in the rocking chair looking at the tree.

I'm so excited for this time of year. Christmas is more fun with kids. They get so excited about the smallest things and there is so much to be thankful for.

It really is all about kids. And you used to be so "bah humbug" about the season once you were not a kid anymore yourself. It all comes back when you have kids of your own:)
