The tree is long gone, and the season is at the end. I still need to remember this quick night of decorating the tree. Decorating for Christmas happened throughout the season. Fern especially enjoyed moving things around-taking ornaments off the tree and moving them to random spots around the house or daily rearranging the manger scenes. We enjoyed adding all the layers for the holiday season.
This is a post about the first wave of decorating. It was a quick, surprising hustle after school and before small group. We popped open the bins and started digging.
We found a discarded Christmas Mad Libs. The kids finally "got it." They know what nouns and verbs are enough to pick them for third grade hilarity. As we gathered all the potty words that are allowed, Burl was sent into a spiral that kept him laughing all night.
The laughter and silliness became contagious throughout the family.
John and I egged it on, emphasizing the potty words, the kids not breathing from laughter.
That's what I will remember from this year. Burl's amazing third grade laughter as we unpacked those bins...
