The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I will always be a little kid when it comes to Christmas. . . . or at least I hope I will. I get so excited each year and can barely wait until Thanksgiving is over before I start decorating. This year was no different. We've had our tree up for nearly two weeks now, along with several tacky additions to our Christmas familly. Lucy is so fascinated by all the little things, including peices of the village like a carousel, and tea-cup ride. She loves the snow globes, ornaments, and her entire gang of push button friends including a rudolph, 2 bears, abominabal (spelling??) snowman, and a lovely life-size tigger that I could ring someone's neck for getting for her! She gets all her pals going at once and dances around the living room like crazy. And although I've already had several headaches from this, I wouldn't trade it for the world. This is the first year she's started to really feel the magic of Christmas and I am trying to enjoy every moment. More pictures of Lucy with all our Grizwald-ish decorations are sure to follow! For now here are a few from our first few nights of decorating.
