Oh well. We're officially moving on! (If you can't beat 'em...)
Our house is now full of Christmas cheer! I'm not sure how to cope with Rowan's crazy energy. Every time he sees the tree, he asks me when ("seriously WHEN") Santa is coming to our house. I'm hoping that a daily chocolate from the Advent calendar convinces him that patience is rewarded. (I've given up on convincing him that patience is its own reward.)
Rowan had a blast decorating the tree. Christmas traditions are so much more special now that he's mature enough to participate!
Of course, he still has some maturing to do. He tried to convince me that cousin Avery taught him to do this, but I know better. I informed both kiddos that this picture will be on my Christmas card in about 12 years.
Avery was just one member of our Christmas decorating crew. Courtney, Jason, Grandma Connie, Grandpa Kevin and Scott all stopped by. After decorating, we enjoyed creamy chicken and potato soup for dinner and flourless chocolate torte for dessert. Mmmm.
And then we sipped wine while ooohing and aaahing at the beautiful tree. It was a lovely afternoon!

Beautiful tree! Your house looks just darling, hope to see it sometime! Val
What a cozy-looking room, Angie! I love having the tree up and lit too. It's such a fun experience to share with the girls, decorating the tree and the house. Taking it down? That's another story.
