Amazed at the Christmas Tree

I wanted to capture John's amazement at the Christmas tree after we put it up and turned the lights on...but this was kind of difficult because daddy was out of the house and I had John in one hand and the camera in the other. But, I must say, it does show a little of his "awe" for the tree, so I hope you enjoy. :) I must say, I LOVE Christmas and my son seems to love it too. Everyday when we get home, he points to the front yard for me to turn on the blow-up Santa (yes people, we have a huge blow-up in our front yard for all to see...how could I not get one when John loved our neighbors Halloween blow-ups and it took me weeks of walking down there and showing them they were gone before he would stop pointing over there and wanting to go see them.) Then when we get inside, he points to the tree for me to turn that on, then the light-up Santa at the front of the house...this boy loves Christmas almost as much as his mommy...and yet he really doesn't even know what it's about or that there are some fun presents for him. :) I think I like his innocence and his love for the spirit of Christmas than the things...it's a good reminder for us to remember the Spirit and what God has done for us. :)

I just realized I forgot to comment - d'oh! I love John's expression. I love this age that Lily and John are at currently. Lily is so curious and really wants to jabber about all the Christmas stuff out and about. Who knew parenting could be so fun! :-)
