Jeremy and I put up the Christmas tree last night after Brooke went to bed. It was almost like she knew....she woke up this morning in a great mood. Instead of her normal whining "Mommy...Mommy...Mommy" she was saying "Mommy! Mommy! Mama! I am upstairs...come and get me!!". It was the cutest thing! It was a great start to the morning. When I walked her downstairs, she looked around in amazement. It was like Santa had already come. She looked at the tree and just adored it. She loved the lights, the ornaments, and the feel of the tree. She looked around at all the other Christmas decorations around the house and wanted to know what each thing was. It was certainly a great morning.
I can't wait to see her face light up when Santa comes! We have been talking about it for a little while, but I don't think she really understands what Santa really means. While getting in the Christmas spirit, we have been singing some Christmas songs. She knows Jingle Bells and Ruldolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I love listening to that little girl sing!
Today, I bought the "Elf on a Shelf" for Brooke. If you are not familiar with this, it's an elf that you sit somewhere in the house and he goes back everynight and reports back to Santa Claus what you have done that day...whether you have been naughty or nice, essentially. I don't know that Brooke will fully understand, but it will be fun to see if she can find the Elf sitting in a new place every morning. I hope that she will eventually look forward to finding the elf in the morning. I also hope that she's not scared of the little guy either. He is sorta weird looking. I will let you know how it goes in another post!
