Christmas Already?

Brianna is already so excited for Christmas. I think between TV commercials, the few Christmas cartoons we've watched with her, and her big friend Savannah talking with her about it, she's just totally psyched for the season. Of course, the stores have already started selling Christmas decorations and have their trees and snowmen up. And, every time Bree catches site of a tree, a snowman, or anything with sparkly lights she just lights up..."Christmas! Look at the Christmas Mommy! WOW!"

So, since she's so excited about it, Travis and I decided we'd go ahead and get out our own Christmas decorations super early this year. Yep, we pulled them out and decorated today, the day after Thanksgiving. We just couldn't wait to see the look on Brianna's face when she saw the lights and the tree here in our own little apartment. We weren't dissappointed either... She was jumping around and exclaiming over every new little thing that came out of the box. Before we could even explain it to her, she had figured out how to hang the ornaments on the tree..so they went on even before the lights this year, mostly all on one side, on the bottom. We re-distributed them slightly later. :) Bree was also pretty thrilled with the stockings. In fact, she actually put them on her feet and was walking around in two of them, despite the fact that we explained they weren't that kind of stockings. She also ran around quite a bit with a few of the stuffed snowmen we pulled out.

When we were all done Brianna looked at the tree and said, "It's boo-tiful (beautiful)! I LOVE Christmas!"
