We have been trying to do something everyday that reminds us of Christmas. We went to the library and checked out a bunch of Christmas books and a movie(it has puppies and of course it was Ellie's choice), we went and visited Santa and saw the festival of trees where the girls' cousin was singing with her class.
Tonight we decided to decorate the tree. Well attempt to. After we got the garland up we knew that it probably wasn't a great idea to have two toddlers help put up breakable bulbs. But we did put the pink tree up in their room and they were very excited.
These girls are so fun. I wish somedays I could just keep every memory trapped in a box so that I can never forget how they are at this exact moment in time. Today Kate was whining a little and needed more attention than I was giving her. I took her in the playroom and we hid in the tent. She'd open the doors, turn her head from side to side and then breath really fast as she'd jump on my lap. A minute after we had gone in Cody came crawling in and she started squealing with delight and screaming. She'd poke her head out or Cody would stick only his hand in and tickle her feet and she would laugh and laugh as she climbed on my lap. Ellie joined in on the fun to and it was perfect. Sometimes they enjoy playing together so much and it makes all the hard times worth it.
