"Ollie" is HERE!

Our Elf has arrived! I was wondering if he would really appear or not, but it looks like our wish came true. Now he's watching to see if our Mills is good or bad, and watch for the nice things we do. This morning as we woke up, I found him sitting so very still in our tree. I'm sure he'll have nothing but good news to report to Santa, but this we soon shall see!

I managed to get all of the decorating done and am very relieved. I found the large C9 bulbs that I was wanting to add to our garlands and tree, and they turned out very pretty.
As a child, I wanted colored lights, and so I only thought that it would be more appealing to Mills as well. Kids like color, and it's all about him now. I must admit that the past few Christmases haven't been as "exciting" as they used to be, but when you reach a certain age, all of the magic and excitement tends to decrease. This year, I feel like a kid again. I am reliving my childhood Christmas memories and traditions through Mills. It feels good to finally have it back. I know now, that each year, I will look forward to Christmas and celebrating the magic and remembering the birth of Christ with our Mills. By the way, he has done great with the tree. He has been waving at it and saying "Hey tree!" I expected him to be a little destructive, but actually he has only tried to touch it a few times.

Wow! Your tree and decorations look great! But I wouldn't expect anything less... :-)I know Mills will love every minute of Christmas this year. Merry Christmas!
