Decorating for christmas



I know that it was a little early but on November 11th we decorated our house for Christmas. Since me and the boys are leaving for Canada on December 11th we wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to enjoy our own Christmas decorations! (that's the lame excess I gave Aaron for wanting to get it up this year, ha ha ha!)

It's so crazy that this will be AJ's third Christmas and Miles first! The time has passed so fast and it seems like each Christmas with Age just gets funner and funner. This year he understands that Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of Christ. When he does something mean or against the rules he says, "That make Jesus sad Mom! I not want to make Jesus sad on his birthday." It's pretty cute.


He is also working on his Santa letter, complete with pictures cut from the flyer's of things he might like to find under the tree. Everyday he asks when we are going to see Santa and sit on his knee but I have a feeling that when the big moment comes he might not be as excited about the whole thing....we'll see.

At 5 months old Miles is just taking it all in stride. He is already 17 ponds and gaining, hope he doesn't over due it n the sweets this year!! Here are a few pictures from putting up our tree.
