It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Last week, the day after Thanksgiving it was time to pull out the Christmas stuff. I always look so forward to this day. The crazy thing is it seems like I literally just put the stuff away a month ago! ha.  Time really does fly!! It's crazy.  The boys were super excited and much bigger helps this year.  Braden is a pro now and Ethan is big enough to be interested in decorating. It's going to be such a fun Christmas with their ages this year. :)
Braden started decorating his little tree. Ethan helped by knocking it over several times. ha! 
The big tree was ready to decorate..speaking of big tree, I finally have one!  I've had two Charlie Brown trees for years and thanks to my sweet friend Christy, she gave us her old one.  :)  Since it was so big and wide, I actually had to go get more lights and ornaments. ha!  But I am grateful to have it for sure! 
Ethan with his typical pose....:) 
This must have been Ethan's favorite spot. ha! He was working out this branch. :) 
All decorated...although it's much prettier when you can tell the lights are on. :) 

That night Elfy arrived sometime while we were sleeping. Braden was so cute when he spotted him in the morning. Ethan wasn't sure what we were so excited about yet.  
Elfy left us a letter telling us he was glad to be back with us and he was watching over us to ensure that we'll be good.  Let's hope it works! ha! So far we've found him in our tree and this morning he was eating bread in our kitchen. Isn't it interesting that Elfy is here to make sure we're being good, yet everyone's elf is mischievous?! :)
