Christmas Eve we decorated the tree in like 10 minutes before going to the Mattila Christmas Eve dinner. It wasn't how I intended on doing it but time just got away from us this year. I plan to make it more fun for Berlin next year but she still liked hanging her own ornaments. We only put about 1/5 of the decorations on for time sake. Anyway, here is our tree. p.s. besides other things the tree decorating was a little thrown off by Eli breaking a window. Yipee!
Anyway, Christmas morning was wonderful! The night before Berlin put some cookies out for Santa (still not sure how to do this Santa thing because I wasn't really a kid that ever believed in Santa...but it seems fun). She was SO excited in the morning that the cookies were gone. She is a bit confused about Christmas at this age. We told her that it is Jesus' birthday and we are celebrating it...so she thought Santa was going to bring us birthday cake. SO funny. She kept saying Happy Birthday to everyone. She also has laid claim to Santa, saying that she loves him and he is hers. After she saw that Santa ate the cookies, she asked me to please put out cookies for when God comes to the house. She had a hard time putting those out...she kept eyeing them and giving me a mischievous look. Silly kid.
The night before we put together Eli's tool set so they woke up and started playing with that right away which was nice because it gave me some time to make coffee. Berlin was surprisingly patient and wanted to take turns to watch James and Eli. Overall, nice and relaxed morning!
