it's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!!

My FAVORITE time of the year is upon us...CHRISTMAS!! This year is going to be especially fun for us because Stafford is so alert, into everything AND is amazed by the lights, trees, etc.  It is so much fun to experience this with him and to see Christmas through his eyes.  He is literally in awe of it all.  We've been reading Christmas books at night, wearing our Christmas pj's, listening to Christmas music, visiting Santa and trying to keep Stafford from "redecorating" the tree every evening!  We know that he will be less interested in opening gifts as he will be with ripping up the paper and playing with boxes...he's already had a head start on opening a few gifts already under our tree! Sorry Memama...those were yours he got a-hold of!! See below for a few pics for our Christmasy outings:
