We put up our tree a couple of weeks ago, and Owen was great putting all the ornaments on the bottom half of the tree. He did have a tendency to put as many ornaments as would fit on one branch; I just figured I could move them later, but when I did, he noticed and objected! He had three Star Wars ornaments on one branch and told me they had to stay there so they could be friends on the branch. Well, okay then.
Here is a festive picture of Posy, having inserted herself in the Christmas tablescape:
Owen had his Christmas show yesterday, and sang for the first time in it! When he remembered, that is. Some of the time he did the hand motions, and jingled the bells, but never all three at once. He was very excited to wear the red and green plaid shirt his Granny sent him:
And this picture is a bit dark here, but here is he proudly walking down with his class to perform in the front:
He is very excited for Christmas, but has oddly gained a kind of patience that he definitely didn't have last year. We were able to put wrapped presents under the tree without them making him go crazy in anticipation.
Sometimes Sean will sing "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus," though and Owen will turn to me in consternation and say, "You didn't, did you, Mom?"
Today I started baking some Christmas cookies, but Owen wasn't as interested in helping as in years' past. He was too busy playing with his new Hess truck!
