Is it Christmas now??

For Thanksgiving, we went to Cat-mama and Papa's house. Despite their excellent cooking, the girls hardly ate any turkey (they are going to be vegetarians, I just know it!)...but they did chow down on the marshmallow topped sweet potatoes! On the drive home, Larkin said, "Thanksgiving is over, so is it Christmas now? Is Santa coming tomorrow?!?"

At 6:30 this morning Larkin was up and at it, and begging Daddy to put up the Christmas tree and the lights outside. By noon we had the tree up, decorated, and all the lights in the front yard up as well!! While we were assembling the tree, Willa was on the back deck helping to bring in the tree pieces. I heard Larkin say, "Daddy, Willa is watering the tree!!" We came out to find this:

While decorating the tree, the girls took a few breaks to dance together to the Christmas music. They love to hold hands and dance in a circle.

Now that all the decorations are up (and 80% of my shopping is already done!) we're going to have to find lots of holiday activities to keep us busy these next few weeks. Hurry up, Santa!!

Here's a few more pics that we took recently--

Willa building a huge tower of blocks with Cat-mama. She started building it from the very bottom, then ran and got her step-stool all by herself. I didn't quite capture it on film, but she had a look of total concentration while stacking each and every block sky-high!

Eventally it toppled onto Cat-mama and she thought that was hilarious!
One night the girls got into the stash of wire hangers, and they stuck them on every knob in the house!!
