christmas is coming

The holiday season is arriving a littler earlier than normal in the Johnson household, thanks to one 5 year old boy who is beyond excited! Hudson insisted that we get our tree last weekend and then insisted that we put it up. This is normally something we do after Thanksgiving. I compromised and said we could put the tree up but not decorate until this weekend. He agreed. He's fine with that since the boys have had their tree decorated in their room for days already. Lights shine through the entire night.

He's totally into Christmas. He was pretending to be Santa in his sleigh. I wish I would've gotten a picture a few minutes later, he taped a kleenex to his chin for a beard.

And we have to have lights outside!! Aunt Vicky got us the candy canes last year after Hudson saw some in a book that he just had to have!

After putting the lights outside, they warmed up with some hot chocolate and marshmallows by the undecorated tree and fire.
