it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

Last night for family night we pulled out all the Christmas decorations!  Heidi was thrilled to show Savanna everything.  Please excuse Savanna's immodesty...we had just finished dinner and that usually means she has to be stripped down before she leaves the kitchen.  She usually ends up right in the bath, but we were too excited to put Christmas stuff up and decided to wait for the bath.
 Heidi found a Santa hat and she went crazy!  She put it on and started a game where she was Santa and the elves were helping her make presents.  She brings all of us random things and tells us she made it because she is Santa.  Heidi is at the absolute most fun age for the holidays right now and we are loving it.  She is over the top excited about everything.
We put our fake tree up last night and we are planning on cutting down a real one this weekend to go in the great room.  Heidi loves the idea of decorating two trees.  Heidi also found stockings in the Christmas stuff and put them on her feet as part of her Santa costume.  I love her imagination.  Heidi would put the ornaments on the tree and Savanna would promptly take them off.  Jeff and I were laughing pretty hard, especially when Heidi said, "Savanna, you need to give me that ornament immediately!" So funny.  We are putting the presents under this tree because Savanna doesn't wander in there very often.  But let's face it, Heidi is a great monitor.  She makes sure to let me know if a cute little curious one year old starts playing with things she shouldn't!

We are all so excited for all the fun Christmas activities to begin!
