Christmas time takes a long time.

December 1st.  I remembered the advent calendar.  Little magnetic balls were a hit for the morning.


This is one of many forts that get built in the living room.  Matthew did this on his own while his brothers were at school.  I was cleaning up another room... why??


Here it is.  THE TREE.  Picked and decorated by my three fellows.


Breakfast of Champions.  They did so well with the decorating.  Only one broken ball so far.  A few decorations have made it in to our bed.  The tree has some bare spots where minds were changed more than once.  I'm so glad we started early.

Daddy's favorite part!  THE TRAIN.  The boys love this and all play together.  We almost got a full cup of coffee in until there was disaster.  The train derailed on to the floor.  Clive in tears, apologizing profusely.  It was all okay in the end.  Just a little bent.  Give it a few more years...


Sometimes they make a really great team.

"Wheeee I haven't had a nap and don't plan to!  Here is a nice moment in between the scary stuff.

No, it's not Duncan.  See the giant hand?  It's Christmas town coming together.  Just like our Christmas is coming together.

  1. It all looks so nice!!! I love the picture of Clive and David working on the train (or whatever they're working!) Thinking of you and hope that your Christmas still as merry as now... xox
