Christmas preparation has begun at the Kidd household. I tried to keep it low key since I am kind of tired- but it's just so much more fun to have EVERYTHING out and a few projects. Once we started pulling things out- it was too hard to stop.
Ty and I put together an advent calendar that my mom bought for us. It took us most of the morning, but we did it! And Ryan helped us out by staying asleep the whole time. Anyway, it's a big box with a bunch of little boxes in it. We put a chocolate kiss in each one along with a little note. We had to glue and cut everything and I think it turned out great!!
The next thing was probably what Ty was the most excited about... THE TREE! We could only decorate the top half of it since Ryan keeps trying to touch it all. It was probably my fault. When we were pulling out the ornaments and things- we have a couple strands of what Ty calls "Jingly Bells," and Ryan had so much fun dragging them around the living room all the while jingling. Once they got put on the tree though- Ryan kept trying to jingle the Christmas Tree. I'm thinking that it's inevitably going to end up on top of him this year- but for now- I just put some extra bells on the front door handle so any time he gets up the urge to jingle something, I just send him to the door.
We think it turned out beautifully and the boys love it when we turn the lights on each night.
