It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas!

We spent this morning decorating the tree and getting into the spirit of the season. The tree is trimmed, the stockings are hung.
Here's Levi getting into the spirit. Showing his friend elephant the tree. He might even be telling him to smell it...can't really be sure!
Helping Dad put the star on the top of the big tree. Big difference from last year. Wow this kid is growing fast!
Levi wasn't very interested in helping decorate the tree. Mostly he just wanted to play with the ornaments. This owl one was his favorite. I just finally put it on the tree, after we put Levi in bed. Hopefully it will stay on the tree tomorrow.
And here's the finished tree! Notice how it has been baby proofed. Very scarce on ornaments below the three foot mark. And those ornaments below three feet are safe for the little guy to touch. We're trying to just tell him the tree is to look at and not touch. We'll see how that goes.
Now Gabe and I are enjoying our tradition...watching this. We watch it every year on the weekend we get our Christmas tree.

We also spent the evening at my grandparents house today. They gave Levi his first Christmas present, a great cloth Rudolph the red nosed reindeer book. Lucky kid! Anyway, we showed him who Santa was in the book the first few times he looked at it. Then we asked him to point at Santa. He proceeded to then point at Santa in the book, and then his great Grandpa Girard. Apparently, Levi's great Grandpa is Santa Claus. He doesn't have a big white beard but he was wearing a red shirt. It was pretty cute!
