The Christmas season is at full speed in this Decker household. We've (meaning Rilyn and I) been listening to Christmas music, lots of Christmas shopping, making some Christmas gifts, and trying to enjoy every minute! Tyler is not one for the above mentioned activities; however, he participated in some massive decorating last weekend. Including putting lights outside in some very cold weather.
Of course, I still feel like I have nothing done and I am pretty sure Christmas cards will be at least a week late, the homemade gifts will actually go unfinished, and the perfect gifts I've been trying to find will be replaced with things I can find on amazon or gift cards. But, it is definitely not for a lack of trying more like a lack of time! It is amazing how little time I have now that I have a baby. I'm lucky to get 1/2 hour to an hour every weekend day to just relax and that means everything else gets down in between feeding the baby, changing diapers, cleaning, chasing her up the stairs, cuddling with her, laundry, chasing her up the stairs, feeding, laundry, etc.....
Rilyn was and is not really interested in the Christmas decorations. We thought we would fight her with the tree every minute but she has rarely touched the tree. Apparently, the stairs are still way more interesting and her favorite thing to do. And she really doesn't love Christmas music that much. We have discovered that Reggae music is her favorite so Bob Marley it is....
Here are some pics from the last couple weeks.
