amazed.

By the tree. 

I haven't found a child yet, who isn't mesmerized by the lights at Christmas time. We put our tree up a tad bit early this year, so that it could be up for the holidays when family is here for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately we didn't take in account that while the tree we had last year was a perfect fit for our 2 BR apartment, it looks like Charlie Browns tree in our house. So it looks like we will be in search of a new tree. For now this one will stay up so that the boys can be in awe of it :) Elias LOVES having the tree out and it is the first thing that he asks for when he wakes up...for the tree to be turned on. :)
