We got up and went to church this morning. Hailey did really good going to her class by herself again. When we got home, we had chili for lunch and then got the kids down for a nap. Bruce put the outside lights up while they were sleeping, and I got the house ready for putting the tree up. When the kids woke up, I got them in their snowsuits so they could go out and watch the big inflateable snowman blow up. They really liked seeing the snowman and all the lights. We let them run around outside and play on the swings for awhile. When we came in, Hailey wanted some hot chocolate with marshmellows. Then my mom and dad came over to see the kitchen. They had some chili and visited for a while. We put our Christmas tree up tonight, and Hailey and Max had fun helping put the ornaments on. Hailey especially enjoyed it. She loved looking at the ones that she had made. She also liked looking at all the ones that she got when she was a baby. Hailey was such a good helper too. She would hand us the bows and she was really careful with all the glass ornaments. We had to put Max to bed before we finished though cause he kept pulling everything off the tree and out of the boxes tangling up all the beads and stuff. He wasn't quite gentle enough and he was making us a little nervous. It was almost his bedtime anyway, and he was happy to get in his crib. I can tell we are going to have fun trying to keep him from knocking the whole tree down for the next few weeks. Hopefully, though, he'll get used to it being there and won't touch it so much. Hailey stayed up pretty late helping with the tree. She was acting so tired when I got her in bed. Bruce and I watched a Christmas movie after getting her to bed. She heard the song "Jingle Bells" and came running out with a big smile on her face. When I went to walk her back to her room she started crying. She had been begging to hear that song for the last couple days. We decided to let her come out and listen to that one song. After I put her back to bed though she kept coming out. It took her a long time to fall asleep tonight.
