The Christmas Spirit

We got our tree on Friday and the boys had so much fun helping decorate! I love their excitement about all things Christmas this year, and am amazed by how much they remember from last year!

Will remembered a light-up Buzz Lightyear ornament he received for Christmas "lasteryear" and has been pretty obsessed with it. Unfortunately, he hit his brother with it a couple days ago so Will went in time out. He then hit Alex with it again a little later so Tom stepped in and told Will he was going to have to take the ornament away from him for a few days.

Will was crying ... and after listening to him for a moment, Alex asked, "Daddy, can you give Will his Buzz Lightyear ornament back?"

"Why do you want me to give it back?" Tom asked.

"Well," Alex said, "because I want him to be happy. And because it's Christmas!"
