Eddie liked hanging the ornaments up high so Peter couldn't reach them. Eddie also coordinated ornaments; he put a pink ornament by a pink light.
It was so precious to see Eddie's excitement at each ornament he pulled out of the bag. It reminded me of decorating the Christmas tree when I was a kid. Though he has no memories of these ornaments, they were all so exciting to him. Peter also found a couple of ornaments he was really excited about, a jingle bell and a Santa. It was fun for me to see all the memories we've collected through our ornaments over our small time as a family.
Christmas for a one and a half year old is very fun when you have a three and a half year old brother that's so excited. Peter can say Christmas tree, ornament, Santa Claus, and snowman (he loves snowmen!). He loves to see these things and point them out. He also loves pointing out Christmas lights.
Eddie put on his boots so we could decorate the tree because they reminded him of Santa Claus. His new favorite game is having us pretend to sleep, so he can pretend to be Santa and leave us a toy under the tree. Eddie also was adamant that we read every book we read under the tree. He lays so his head is literally under the tree!
Here you can see Peter and me hanging ornaments. Notice some of the gifts Santa has already delivered.Merry Christmas, everyone!
