O Tannenbaum




We cut down a tree a couple weeks ago and decorated it together. Nathaniel and Josiah both have little (18 inch) fake trees setup in their room, too. Almost every morning Josiah exclaims "Tree!" as if he has never seen such an exciting sight before. He is a sweet little guy. The boys were soooo helpful with stretching (and trampling on) the lights while we prepared them to hang on the tree in our living room (maybe in the future their help will actually be helpful). When the lights were hung, Nathaniel really was a happy helper with the ornaments. It is wonderful to introduce them to the celebration of our savior who was born on Christmas (they don't remember Christmas ever happening before). Nathaniel requests that we sing Joy to the World over and over. He also has enjoyed listening to the Nutcracker and watching the ballet on a DVD (he dances his favorite moves with Mommy - I get to be Clara, the princess)!
