Getting ready for Christmas

It has been so nice being back at home with the babies. Although, they aren't much of babies anymore. They are getting big so fast. Today we made the most adorable Christmas trees using their little hand prints. They were so good with the paint. They did exactly what I told them to do. They were so cute.

Then this afternoon we made candy. Although, I think they would have ate it faster than I could make it if I would have let them.

They are loving the Christmas lights. Last year they didn't really notice them. Half the time I don't even think they saw them. But this year is so different. They notice things I don't even see. They love all the Ho Hos and Frosties!

We haven't been able to put any presents under the tree. I had one under it and it was just too much torture for Matthew. He was so sweet, he just sat down by it. He would then pick it up and bring it to me and when I would tell him to go put it back, he would sweetly and gently go lay it back down and sit there by it. We did this for about half an hour and I just decide that it isn't worth it.
