a few things I want to remember this year at Christmas

- Lydda Grace's favorite Christmas song is "Joy to the World" she doesn't have it down quite right but she makes up for it with enthusiasm! 

- Sometimes when we hear a song on the radio or in a store LG will say "They're singing about baby Jesus!!!!!"

- When we are out driving Lydda Grace is quick to spot Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph in nativity scenes. I love that this is what stands out to her and what she gets excited about when we're looking at Christmas decorations. 

- Lots of homemade ornaments on our tree this year! I'm loving it! 

- The one-finger rule for the tree doesn't work! We've tried to satisfy the kids' curiosity to touch the Christmas tree by telling them they are allowed to touch it with one finger..... this has only resulted in well over 2/3 of our ornaments on the top 1/2 of the tree!
