amazing (and ridiculous) night...

we had planned to decorate our christmas tree on sunday.
we were ready...hot cocoa found, new christmas pj's purchased, and the tree was assembled.

max was EXCITED to say the least.

he kept squatting down and looking at the lights.

i asked him to stand in front of the tree and smile...and this is what i got!

here he is with his santa mug full of hot cocoa. he would take a sip and say, "this is just like coffee!" hahaha!

then he decided he wanted to drink his hot cocoa in front of the christmas tree. this is where things turned ridiculous!

we started to hang the ornaments. max would grab one, analyze it, and go find just the right spot for it on the tree. he'd try to hang it up and it would fall, he'd try again and it would fall again. then he'd give up and say, "you do it momma." this happened a few times until he got the hang of it.

doing a great job. there are only a few branches with multiple ornaments. but don't worry i left them alone. i think i surprised drew with putting my perfectionism under control! :)

we took a quick family shot with our christmas pj's on! you may have noticed our new housemate...his name is jordan. he's living with us until the summer. :)

when max saw this ornament he said, "awe, what a cute little fella."
really?

i think he thought the ornament box was a sled, he kept asking us to pull him around in the snow.

mags and jordan are already best buddies!

we got done decorating and max asked where the star was for the top of the tree. how the heck does he know that a star is supposed to go on the top?

what a great night. full of laughter, togetherness, and fun. this is a night full of memories that i will remember and cherish forever!
