After Thanksgiving the kids wanted to start decorating for Christmas, but first they went shopping the morning after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time together.
This is Heather's shopping outfit.
Heather was so excited to put up Christmas decorations. After they got home from their shopping excursion they had me take down all the Christmas decoration bins and they started to work their magic.
Heather stayed in her early Christmas shopping outfit the entire day. I think it gave her a little creative mojo.
While Heather is jumping around in her mojo suit Rachel is getting stuff done.
It did not take long for Rachel to start dancing to the Christmas music. They are definitely festive dancers.
The climax of song reminded Rachel that Jimmy was coming over and this was the result.
After much dancing, singing and dreaming about Jimmy they finally finished making some cookies and got a few decorations put up.
One of our favorite Christmas traditions is the advent calendar. Lynne and Jacob are opening one of the daily pockets. Even though our kids are big they still like to participate. I want to announce that Chad (who is currently not chronologically in Utah at the time the image was taken) opened the pocket with Baby Jesus.
Looks like Jacob is also having fun with this tradition.
Later that evening Grandma and Jessica gave Jacob a hair cut. He was so cute with the phone and the bush. The two items kept him distracted from the hair removal.
It was a ton of fun watching Jacob get to open the Christmas calendar and enjoy the Christmas season. I think his favorite part of Christmas was my Mother's creepy singing Christmas tree. It is this two foot tree that has a motion sensor, and whenever he would walk by, glowing green eyes and a mouth would appear; then proceed to sing the first two lines of a Christmas song in a very loud voice. Jacob would walk back and forth to make him sing. Heather got so sick of the tree she should randomly hide it from Jacob.
