Just Three Words...

DECKING THE HALLS

Watching the "Elf on the Shelf" movie while adorning our faux tree with ornaments.

Dada's little "helper."

Emmy hangs the inaugural ornament onto the string of lights.

Emmy's tree and nativity in her play room.  Her favorite part was putting on the "ites" (lights).


When searching for all the components of the Little People nativity, I found baby Jesus tucked into Emmy's doll bunkbed.  So very thoughtful.

Henry, our Elf on a Shelf.  Emmy doesn't understand the concept other than that Henry is Santa's friend who shows up in (periodically) different places in our house.  Good thing we have another year or so to master the drill before she notices that he hasn't moved for a few days.

Completely unrelated to holiday tree-trimming: I found some of Emmy's babies in time-out a few days ago.  She was wagging her finger at them firmly saying, "SIT THERE! TIME OUT!"  When I asked her what they did wrong, she told me, "HIT!"  Hmmm....

  1. Good idea with the kid tree. Why didn't I read your blog earlier? I failed again.

    So how do you do the Santa thing? Asher knows that he's a guy, but I didn't really teach or push it or worry about it this year.
