MOMMY, let's decorate the tree!

my three year old keeps screaming at me..."mommy! mommy! let's decorate the tree! i want to put the purple one on!" and i keep telling her "not right now, we'll do it today, i promise". she's so into decorating our little 3 foot tabletop tree and that's exciting and a bit frustrating, too! i'm not quite ready for the christmas decorating, but it's hard to explain that to a 3 year old so i just keep saying that we'll get to it; that tends to calm her a bit for a little while and she moves on to something else for at least a little bit!

while my daughter is all into decorating the tree and putting the lights outside, my son is telling me that he's not sure santa exists! he'll be 9 this christmas eve and i was really hoping i could get one more santa year out of him. he told me the other night that he's not sure if he still believes in santa, but he's also not sure if he doesn't...so he's on the fence about santa and i just don't know what to do about it! now, i'm just hoping he doesn't mess things up for his sister...she still needs to have more santa years!

so, guess i'm off to decorate the little tree and put out the little snowmen lights outside all to please my little girl! and trying to figure out how to get my near 9 year old to believe in santa just one more year!
