Liam was so excited to decorate the Christmas tree this year. Every time we would go to a store and see a tree he would say, "Mommy tree with lights in the cart!" And I would tell him no because we already have one. When I got it down from the attic he helped me pull it out of the box and as soon as it was standing he was decorating it.
With his blocks, and bunny, and every car he could get his hands on.
So I told him we are supposed to put ornaments on it.
And he said "No balls we kick 'em" and promptly lined them up in a line. He then went down the line and kicked every single one like a soccer player warming up. Good thing we have the shatter proof ones :)
Finally I convinced them they went on the tree and he was a very good helper at picking them all up from across the room and bring them to me to put on the tree. He would say "'Er go Mommy" with each one.
He adores the tree. Anytime it is not plugged in he says "Chrimas tree Lights on"
Fiona and Zoe helped too :)
Growing up we had a wooden nativity that the kids were allowed to play with. My grandpa had made one for each of his kids. The first Christmas I was married I got one from my Grandpa Wells. He hand made a set for each one of his grandkids too! This is Liam and Fiona playing with ours. Every time I see them play with it I tear up. It brings back so many memories of my childhood and I am so grateful my Grandpa made one for my family. They will always have this gift from their Great Pa Pa.
