Luke

Lilypie Kids Birthday tickers

Thursday, December 4, 2008



Last night we went out and got a Christmas tree. We have the tradition of getting a fresh cut Christmas tree every year. I love the way they smell, and the smell alone make Christmas real for me. Luke was very excited about this, and he told us that Ho Ho come. We got the lights, the star, and the garland up before he went to bed. He kept pulling out the ornament's and putting them on the tree, but I told him he had to wait until we got all the lights and garland on. First thing this morning he ran down stairs and pulled the lid off the tote and starting looking for the ornament to put on the tree, when he discovered his Santa hat. He has been wearing it all day and tells me that Ho Ho is going to bring him Polar train. Which means, he thinks Santa is going to bring him a Polar Express train to go under the tree. I guess that means we need to start looking for a train to go around the tree!! This year is so much fun with Luke being so excited about everything and wanting to help. Luke and I had fun decorating the tree today. He helped put on all the ornament's, even the glass ones. I let him know that some can break and we must be careful. He did soooo good and we did not break anything!!

It's great to have the kids help put up the Christmas tree and ornaments. How can they learn about the traditions, if we don't let the participate. I hide the good ornaments and put them on the tree, the rest are for the kids. I think they decorate the tree better anyway.

Ahhh! so cute! Everytime Aubrey sees a train she holds it real tight and says "who am I?" I say luke, then she pouts and says "I really miss Luke"...We miss you, good to see you are having fun in VA!
