Preparing for Christmas - Part 1

The past couple of weeks have had us busy preparing for Christmas. I have alot of pictures to share from all of the festivities so I have divided them up into two different posts. Enjoy!

Connor met Santa when we went to pick up our Christmas tree. He liked the big man much better this year.... he was even willing to give him a high five.Here is Connor helping us decorate the tree. He put up about 5 ornaments and then he was bored with the whole process.James and I managed to finish the rest of the decorating. Here is the finished product.Every night Connor has been checking his countdown calendar to find a little Christmas treat. He asks me all day long to open his box, but we always wait until Daddy is home to open it with us.Our second nightly ritual is to light the advent wreath. Connor really enjoys this because he gets to blow out the candles when we are done with the prayers. He has gotten really good at blowing them out and I am sure he will be a pro now for his next birthday.
