It's a Wonderful Time of the Year

The boys by the tree the night we put it up - yes Grayson always looks scared when "surrounded"
Parker's first candy can - LOVED it obviously as he is double-fisted (his and Davis')
Davis thinking he would like a candy can - he didn't - he gave it to Parker
Mark, hanging off the roof putting up lights - the house looks great after several mishaps

I love Christmas:  the decorations, the family traditions, the food.  Right now, I just loving watching the boys experience everything and make memories.  Davis remembers some things from last year which is precious and everything is new this year for Parker.  P thinks the tree is beautiful and he loves the lights outside and on the banister.  Davis loved finding the ornaments that are his "favorites" (the old car ornaments, his Lightening McQueen ornament from Aunt Amy, and the John Deer tractor we bought him last year).  He hung them all on one branch for safe keeping.  Davis also loves watching the Polar Express (he calls it "train express").  I knew he would love the huge train - I'm not sure he even cares what the movie is about.

That's awesome that Mark is all over the light thing...why does that surprise me? I guess I will never figure him out so I should stop trying! Very cute pic of the boys - I can't wait to see all 3 of mine next Christmas in front of the tree!

Maybe Mark can come over this afternoon and help Fokker put up our lights?
