The weekend after Thanksgiving we decorated for Christmas. I was pretty excited since Rilyn is really old enough to help and we could talk about our different ornaments and decorations. We didn't do tons of decorating since Christmas is in about 2 weeks, but enough to make us crazy with these two little nuts!
Also, Rilyn only lasted about 15 minutes on decorating the tree and Ryder has spent the last 2 weeks trying to take it all down!

| Yep we do the whole fake tree thing. As much as I love real trees they are way to expensive to just throw in the trash a month later! But I do really wish we had a real tree! |

| Rilyn's favorite thing to decorate with is candy canes apparently. |

| All those candy canes are now at the top of our tree for obvious reasons. |

After decorating we braved the cold (very cold 2 degrees at the time we left the house) to see Santa and enjoy our local Larkspur tree lighting. They have a huge bonfire and a tent with heaters so we thought we would be okay. We spent about an hour bundling up and less than 20 minutes there. Ryder would not stay out of the snow so he was frozen and miserable a.k.a screaming bloody murder for a good 20 minutes. We think his hands were what got too cold. He didn't have super warm gloves on but it's hard finding gloves a 16 month will wear. Especially one that sucks his thumb.
