Decorations and Fires

This year since we went to Discovery Kingdom the day after Thanksgiving, we waited until the next day to decorate, which is one of the girls very favorite things to do.  Well that day Kevin planned on going and getting firewood for us.  We have a fireplace in this house and we LOVE having fires!  Well Nellie has turned out to be Kevin's little fire buddy.  It is really cute because if she thinks the fire is not up to par then she makes sure that Kevin knows and is taking care of it.  In fact one day they were upstairs watching a show and Kevin and I were down by the fire, and we heard a little voice from upstairs say "the fire isn't looking good.  You need to put more wood on the fire."     Nellie decided that she would rather go with Kevin and get firewood then to stay and decorate the house.  That is how much she loves fires. It was really cute to see her go with Kevin and be his buddy.  Russy is a bit of a fire guy himself. He loves the fires and we really have to keep our eye on that wild man.

 janie and Lizzy satyed and helped me decorate, in fact they did most of it themselves.  They had probably the most fun doing the village and Jane had to cram every single figurine onto it. We did however leave the tree for when Nellie and Kevin were back.

 Russ had a good time just relaxing and watching for the most part.  It is a bit crazy but he leaves the tree alone for the most part,  which is insane seeing how busy he is and how into everything he is.  But hey I will take it!

Look at these cute little people of mine!  They are such good, sweet kids!  Even if I feel on most days like I am going a bit crazy!
