Oh, how I LOVE...

the Holidays! Now some of you might think I am crazy for putting my tree in early but I LOVE it! There's so much going on in the next couple of weeks so I thought it would be better if I put it up now. So far Aiden has been pretty good with it. It's been up since Tuesday and only a few ornaments have been ripped off:) That's a plus right. At least it's still standing.

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

Jason's parents and sister's flew into town last week and went home a few days ago. It was great seeing them and they got to see how wild Aiden baby really is. At first he was a little shy but once he realized who they were he was all over the place.

Look at this curious little monkey...I caught him grabbing the lights off the tree and holding it next to the berry for quite some time. Not sure what he was trying to do there...but he was quite intrigued by it:)

 

My baby cracks me up. This is another thing he LOVES to do. He gets into everybody's shoes and walks around the house. One of his favorite pair of shoes are my white heels. He is so dang cute. I am sure he will thank me for these pictures later in life....

May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas grant you love.
