Decorating for Christmas!!!!!!!

17 months old="interesting time" at Christmas!!! This weekend we decided to decorate for Christmas! Mommy was very excited, but understands that usually means more work for Daddy! Daddy is such a trooper and handles the VERY heavy and VERY wide Christmas tree! He probably would prefer a smaller one, but Mommy wants the biggest tree since it is my MOST favorite time of the year! Chase did exactly what we expected~ he helped pull everything out, at least break 1 thing and wanted to touch the "untouchables." Need I say more? :) He was the perfect toddler! We involved him in every process regardless of the word "insane" written on my forehead!

Chase found the tree!!

Touching the tree!

We have many 'red and green' bins that host our Holiday decor; of course, Chase would find the one with all of the breakable ornaments! He literally picked up every box of glass ornaments boxes and threw them across the room. Thank goodness they didn't break and we opted not to use them on the tree this year. We opted to use more personal ornaments, S'mores snowmen, and of course, different types of jingle bells!

Mommy found the advent calendar and Chase was in heaven! Chase said, "Lots and lots of doors.....whew, Mommy is the best. I didn't know she had such cool toys!" He loved this thing......I did mention he broke something, right? Well, it was one of the knobs on my calendar. Daddy fixed it!

He kept hiding his paci inside the doors! I don't think he will understand the process on Dec. 1 that only 1 door is supposed to be open and you only get 1 treat/toy/card a day. He may not think I'm so cool then :o)

Chase is hanging his stocking for the 1st time!
