In the spirit


We tuned the television to the Christmas music channel.
We ordered pizza.
Then Kevin and I wrapped the tree in lights.
JT went crazy waiting for the Christmas train to be taken out and set up.

JT put up the first ornament. 
He also broke the first ornament.
The only ornament this year.
Hooray!
 
Kevin helped JT put one of the birds in the tree.
What, you don't have cardinals in your Christmas tree?
 

Kevin teaching JT how to put the ornaments (with the funky hooks) on the tree.


Kevin putting up our "star".
It's not a star.
It's some fancy ornament that we took the hook out of and turned upside down.
We like it like that.
JT likes it, too.
"JT, you hold onto my leg so I don't fall off."
He nearly fell off.
 
The finished product.
 
Daddy and JT
 
Mom and JT
 
Mom in Umbros and Fleece and JT and the finished product.
 
Our stockings are hung by the door with care.
Santa doesn't have a chimney here, he uses the door.
He has a special key.

Even Kody gets a stocking.
 

After the tree was decorated, we took out the train and Kevin and JT headed down stairs.
I stayed in the bedroom looking for the tree skirt.
JT led the way, looking behind him at the train.

Kevin screamed.
My heart about fell out of my chest.
He fell head-first down four or five steps.
JT screamed, "Can we put up the train now?!?!"
Seriously, kid?
He wound up with a minor case of rug burn on a cheek.
Nothing that would stop him from playing with the train.
