The Clayton's kicked officially kicked off the holiday season this past weekend. We visited Santa's workshop, which did not go over too well with Chance. Let's just say I thanked Santa and removed the boys from the Santa area. We did the Victorian Christmas at the Page Walker House - a wonderful holiday event. I highly recommend this as an annual family activity. Then, on Sunday, we did the New Hill Christmas train - the steam one. This is a REALLY cool Christmas activity to do with little boys. The boys hung over the side of the train and chanted train, train, choo, choo! There was a Santa on the train, whom was much more well received than the workshop one. Maybe the venue was more relaxing.
The real excitement came when we put up our tree yesterday. I am sure the boys were thinking, what is this tree doing in our house? This morning, I lit the lights for the first time. Tas sprang from his breakfast chair and chanted tree, tree! He was so excited. Chance would have gotten up, but I had strapped him into his high chair. I had them put a few decorations on to get their buy in to hanging things on the tree. Tonight, I decorated the rest of the tree so it will be interesting to see their reaction in the morning.
Christmas with little ones is really special. This year they are really experiencing this for the first time and are so engaged. This is how we should all live our lives.
