The beautiful sunset made it easier to forget the traffic we battled on our way to Thanksgiving in Nashville. We shared a beautiful dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's house with Annie, Shane, Eric, Betsy, and Betsy's parents. Grandpa dug out one of Grandma's childhood toys, a ViewMaster. It was a hit with Jack, and Luke gave it a try too.
Grandma gave the boys their first Christmas present a little early. It's this little tv that plays a winter scene. Jack was and is enthralled.
We headed back to Atlanta early Saturday morning so we would have time to decorate our tree. Luke scurried upstairs to the train table as soon as we arrived home. John, Jack, and I worked on the tree.
When Jack finally convinced Luke to come down and look at the tree, Luke walked over to the lights, pointed at a blue one and said, "Green," a red one and said, "Blue," and so on. Pretty cute.
Jack spent all evening and much of today looking at the tree. The boy loves Christmas. Buddy, our elf, arrived this morning after his long trip from the North Pole. We're happy to see him. And, we started our Christmas book each night tradition at bedtime. Jack is in Christmas bliss.
