Oscar began asking when we’d decorate for Christmas on our way home from Thanksgiving dinner (because Thanksgiving was “over”). We came home that day and got their little tree down from the attic. It was the absolute cutest thing to hear Evelyn say “whoa” and giggle herself to sleep that night. We got our tree and finished decorating on Friday.
To say that Oscar is a little bit excited would be a colossal understatement. Enjoy a few tidbits that have come from him lately…
Thanksgiving Day, before bed…
Oscar: One day closer to Christmas!
After staring at the fire in the fireplace for a few minutes…
Oscar: Does Santa really come down the chimney?
Maggie: Yep.
Oscar: …I don’t want to have any more fires in the fireplace.
Admiring the lights on the house across the pond…
Oscar: Well, I’m impressed.
As we were decorating…
Oscar: Mom, Evelyn keeps messing with the activity.
Maggie: The nativity?
Oscar: That’s what I said.
Tonight before bed, looking forward to his advent calendar…
Oscar: Tomorrow we get to start the chocolate calendar!
