Emma and I played some darts this morning (she won AND got her first ever bullseye.
Stephanie told me the kids really want the house decorated every year but have never really helped and she ends up doing it herself. This year Emma was really excited to help. Stephanie and I helped her find the Xmas stuff in the basement. She wanted to set up the manger scene first.
It was very sweet seeing Mom help her with the wooden part of the manger scene.
Emma arranged the figures all on her own.
Emma also set up and fluffed the tree by herself. Mom and I helped her put on a few of the decorations but she did quite a bit of on her own. Stephanie put set the TV to holiday songs on Amazon Music. I sang along to a few of the tunes while Emma finished up the tree. She was amazed that I knew ALL the words.
I finally admitted that all the songs were sing-a-long and had the words posted on the screen.
Stephanie got the stockings hung and also put up the Advent calendar. Part of the reason she's less than thrilled to decorate every year is that she ends up doing it all by herself. Well, this year Emma was old enough to really lend a hand. It was wonderful to she how excited she was and how she really enjoyed helping.
