In sticking with my grand excitement for Christmas this year, we decorated for Christmas yesterday. It was so much fun! I know that in years to come it won't be quite so easy but with Vera being only 4 months old, it went about a smooth as any decorating day could go.
We got up around 7:45 -- Vera has been sleeping in lately and it's been wonderful! We had a great breakfast and played with Vera and once she was down for a nap (around 9:30) we began decorating. While she slept we got the big tree up -- the first time in years that I've had a real sized tree. We also put our little tree up in the front room so it can be right by the window. We hung stockings and set up nativity scenes, places snowmen and cute baskets, we wasted no time. By the time Vera got up all we had left to do was decorate the tree. Once she was fed she was a great little helper and just watched us decorate. By about 5:30 we were completely done and sitting down to eat some pizza and watch Home Alone.
I appreciated the ease of decorating this year because I knew it would be the last time for quite a few years that it would be this easy. But I'm also excited that next year Vera can help us with decorating. And yes, I know that Vera's idea of helping and my idea of helping will probably contradict each other. But isn't that half the fun? ;)
