It's pretty good to be Henry these days. When he wakes up in the morning, he is thrilled to see that mama and papa didn't take down the Christmas tree while he was sleeping. And when we arrive home from being out, he exclaims "Do you know what's inside? A Christmas tree!"
Yesterday he found more lights and carried them around until mama agreed to put up the last tree (we've got the 7 footer, a 5 footer and a little 3 footer for Henry to decorate over and over). Henry even picked up all of his toys, so mama would agree to put up the last tree.
We tried to capture the mood with these pictures, but the shutter speed was a little slw with the dim light and we were too excited to sit still.
Today, mama and Henry unpacked the nativity scene. They talked about the wisemen, the shepherds, Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. Henry turned over baby Jesus and was shocked to see he wasn't wearing a diaper. But he must have just gotten out of the bathtub, so it was okay. Then mama told Henry that Christmas was baby Jesus' birthday (hoping to launch into a rousing rendition of Reba's "Happy Birthday Jesus- I'll open this one just for you!"), but Henry instead insisted that he and baby Jesus go to each other's birthday parties. In the end, babay Jesus got tired, so Henry put his bed in the loft of the manger and put him down for his nap.
