Once upon a time, Drew was an only child. We taught him all about Christmas, and like any other kid he was excited to decorate the “chemistry.” Chemistry? Oh, Christmas tree! Got it. That 2 year old, now almost 6 (yikes!) wasn’t wrong at all; Christmas Trees create and cause all kinds of chemistry!

Once we had made it through the twelve-step Grandma Detox Program (ha!) Drew & Brinley couldn’t wait for Daddy to unpack the tree and dig in to decorating the house for the season.

Whoa! What the heck is this thing?!

At first, Rowan looked to be thinking “Why, is there a pine tree, in our living room?”

What are presents? Who is Santa? And what does this tree have to do with it?

Ooooooh, it has lights!

And it’s pokey! And plastic! What the?!

What am I supposed to do with this?

It’s easy Rowan, just watch adorning ace Drew..

 

Look at the intense focus!

The tools of the trade.

 

We put Rowan in charge of ornament inventory & distribution. She may have taken her job a little too seriously… 

Look, it’s Rowan the Ornament!

 

Brinley looking at the camera AND smiling? Say it aint so!

Merry Christmas!
