Christmas Tree

'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

After reading our Christmas bedtime story and putting out cookies for Santa, Ethan had to have one last look at the tree.

 

Then I guess he decided to immerse himself in the tree, or maybe it was the Christmas experience? It must have looked pretty magical inside the tree because he did it a few more times. :-)

We don't have very many glass ornaments on the tree this year, but we did put up a few because the tree just looked too different to us without a few Christmas balls!

Oh, Christmas tree!

I think Landon found all this Christmas tree business is tiring.

A TREE!

"A TREE, a TREE!" he says, as he excitedly runs around the living room in circles.

He just can't leave it alone.

He's been squealing about it all morning.

And no matter how many times I dutifully tell him to back away from the tree (keeping in mind that soon it will be decorated and he'll need to leave it alone), he just can't help himself.

And there is a part of me that really doesn't mind. Even though I have to pretend that I do. After all I don't want him messing with another person's tree or knocking over ours. But there is something so sweet about being almost three and having so much enthusiasm. His enthusiasm is contagious and I wish I could bottle it up.

This year Christmas is going to be so much fun!
