Getting into the holiday spirit has been really fun this year - seeing Christmas through the eyes of a two year old is pretty cool!
I did most of the house decorating during nap time but James helped with a few ornaments on the tree. Specifically PERCY!
Jimmy is a master at hiding/ misplacing his trains (he was once "lost" in the shape sorter with shapes the exact green as his paint job, and mostly recently Grammy found Percy in the dishwasher! -- I figure if we ever truly lose Percy, the ornament could be a temporary substitute!
The boys have matching Christmas jammies (because Isaac is a little bigger than most 5 month olds - we were able to make this happen!)
Here they are in front of the mini tree at the cottage.
Not super interested in photos...
But perfectly happy to smile at the camera as Isaac topples over behind him!!!
Awesome :)
Showing off his sitting skills!
The manger is also a big hit.
Sometimes they are Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus - sometimes they are Mommy, Daddy and Ike.
This set is kid friendly so James can play all he wants and nothing breaks. Just constantly reminding him that Jesus has to stay in the manger --- can you imagine if he hid that little baby?
Can you see the little window in the back of the manger?
That is Jesus' "kid cave" - he spends a lot of time up there too :)
And of course a few Christmas card rejects!
Jimmy was super cooperative!
Isaac was bored...
Last time I checked getting your picture taken is not torture... this was MAYBE 5 minutes and he was plied with treats and train stamps the entire time... :)
But the simple photos that you get by accident make it all worthwhile!
Look at those sweet smiles :)
Here's hoping your countdown to Christmas is a happy one!
