It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I love this time of year, except for the cooler weather. But who can complain since we are hitting the 80 degree mark this week! We have been in full swing Christmas mode since right after Thanksgiving. Brian surprised us when we came home for Thanksgiving with a partially decorated house and lights hanging outside...not to mention a big blow-up Santa in our yard (yes, we are now those people!). Will has a new movie that he loves to watch - Boz, the bear - that is teaching him about the true meaning of Christmas and the significance of baby Jesus. He has a nativity set in his room and loves to point out baby Jesus to us. Surprisnigly enough, Will has no interest in messing with the ornaments on the tree or the presents underneath. Nate loves looking at the lights. It keeps him entertained for minutes : ) Will's favorite song right now is Jingle Bells - it has even surpassed Twinkle, Twinkle for the time being . Here is a sweet pic of the boys with Santa. I'll post some pictures later this week of the blow-up Santa. Yep, it's just what you are imagining.
