We made popcorn and hot cider and listened to Christmas music while we decorated the tree. Eli loved the lights and he loved putting the ornaments on the tree. We have a broken dog ornament that looks like Giedo and he thought it was so cool. He showed it to Giedo (our dog) and asked do you like it and saying "Giedo loves it". He didn't want help putting the ornaments in and is becoming a tad pushy with his independence. We only lost one ornament to this however we do have a clump of ornaments in one section of our tree on the bottom where Eli could easily reach and apparently liked to hang ornaments.
I tried to just watch for a bit as he decorated the tree and just enjoy the moment but then I did have to pull out the camera. Photos are still so special to me.
After decorating the tree it was bedtime and Elis bedtime prayer went like this tonight "Dear Jesus, our Christmas tree because it is so beautiful!" 😍 So sweet. I'm pretty sure he meant thank you for our Christmas tree because he pretty much starts every prayer thanking Jesus for something and had recently started adding why as well. I should write down his prayers every night because they are so sweet and cute.
The inside of our house is decorated and ready for Noelle and Christmas! We'd love to get the outside Christmasfied soon and I'd love to get the house deep cleaned and organized a tad more but those "nesting" instincts just aren't kicking in for me. Hopefully I get that burst of energy sometime before little Noelle arrives.
