We did some decorating yesterday. The kids were super excited! They helped me carry down the boxes, eagerly set up the nativity scenes and then got lost in the books. Think we have enough Christmas books? Seriously! I’ve also already bought two new ones this year and there’s a book fair at Lex’s school on Monday where I’ll probably buy more. I have a kid book addiction! :)

Nativity scenes line our hearth.

Books, books everywhere. These kept the kids quiet for well over an hour!

After dinner I had a laugh when Lex grabbed the Kindle and settled on the dining room floor, and Eve grabbed a soft Christmas book and snuggled on the couch. Such opposites. :)

That's his "Kindle touch" finger :)

Later that night we watched Alan on TV for a few minutes, then Alan and Lex played Macala (or beads and buckets as they like to call it) on a homemade game board.

Proud Alan! He was interviewed about energy commission stuff a few weeks ago and it aired last night.

Beads and buckets... and blocks!
