Thanksgiving is only three days gone, but already we are racking up "Christmas moments," despite the grouchy, semi-sickness that has permeated our house lately:
-Even though it felt like we were torturing Finn to get dressed and leave the house (and being tortured in return), the boys were entranced by the Enchanted Railroad at the Morton Arboretum.
-Taking a break from running around like wild men, Finn and Wylie climbed up on Grandma and Grampa's bay window and peacefully collaborated on decorating with Christmas window stickers. Even better, Jason and I sat on the couch, with wine in hand, and watched while G and G supervised.
-It took two separate attempts to decorate the tree today mostly because little and medium did not seem to get the "family activity" concept. Yet the good moments were truly perfect--Finn tested the lights himself at 7:00 this morning, anxious to get the process started. Wylie put his new Elmo ornament on the tree and then went back to it again and again, happy to see Elmo.
