Decking the Halls

The week after Thanksgiving we decided it was time to deck the halls for Christmas! We turned on "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" to introduce Max to this holiday classic and get us in the holiday spirit. Actually, Max just got to listen to the movie... television tends to overstimulate him because of the bright colors and quick movement on the screen.


As we decorated the Christmas tree we showed him ornaments and told him about them along the way! Fun things like learning about the ornament from my first Christmas....



Learning what a snowflake is...



....and learning about the star the wise men followed to find Jesus who was a little baby just like himself!



Max was so excited to learn about the star that he requested to have the honor of placing it on top of our tree.



In the midst of all our fun Max took a little dance break as the people of Who-ville celebrated Christmas and the Grinch's heart grew and grew.





Max and I picked out a stocking to go with the ones Ben and I got last year and we hung it on the mantle so Santa can find it.



Max is excited for Christmas morning!
