Decorating and Celebrating

Well...we decided to decorate the tree while playing Christmas music even though the temp. was in the high 70's...it was a little hard to get into the mood, but we enjoyed watching Timothy get excited over the lights and ornaments (when we weren't trying to keep him from breaking them!)

Even though we've had an unexpected warm front, it's been nice to spend more time outside enjoying the view of the leaves changing colors....it's quite beautiful, especially for this part of Texas!

Timothy turned 3 on the 30th....it's hard to believe how fast time has flown! I woke up with a very sore neck on that morning, so needless to say, I wasn't able to do much for his birthday. Thankfully, he's still at the age where he doesn't completely understand it all, and he keeps singing happy birthday to his friend Simon who turned 3 in August! I wanted to wait to give him his gifts until everyone was at home, which is quite a challenge with the boy's schedules, so at about 5:00 that evening Timothy said to me, "Mama, it's only going to be my birthday for 5 more minutes, then it will be all done!" Not sure why he said that exactly, but I decided right then and there to break out a few of his gifts and get out the video recorder since it was only the two of us enjoying the experience! He got some cool musical tub toys from Grandpa Larry & Grandma Sheryl and some fun heavy equipment kinds of toys (he's completely into anything that has to do with bulldozers, tractors and excavators!)....he's the only one around here that doesn't mind all of the construction going on in our city right now!!

I'm going to try to download a video or two...not sure how this works exactly....
