Decorating the tree

Decorating the tree this year was SO FUN! Lucca is all things Christmas. It's so cute to see his innocence about the whole thing. Christmas trees are the most awesome thing in the world, lights are magical, decorations are fabulous and every time we see a Christmas tree in the window of a neighbor he says "Look mom, it's SO beautiful". He's so precious and he's the best thing about Christmas right now. I wish I could see things in his eyes. This is his first year understanding Santa, his first year decorating a tree, his first year seeing the magic in Christmas lights and right now Christmas is about the feeling it provokes in him and not the presents. He's completely content with everything just being pretty, the idea of Santa is present enough and every time I look at him I get the real feeling of Christmas. How wonderful it must be to wake up one day, and see the world as you know it all dressed up for Christmas. I'm so grateful I can step back and watch the magic happen in his eyes. Thank you Lucca.

On a lighter note, when we told Lucca we couldn't put the decorations on the tree until we put the lights on it, he swiftly grabbed the lights, and "put" them on the tree. Luckily we were able to get a photo before the moment was gone. Behold, the lights on our tree!
