Mateo has been enjoying watching all our neighbor's Christmas trees through our various windows. He gets excited seeing the lights and the decorations and is slowly understanding the concept of Santa Claus (a wonderful way to get him to obey!!). Initially I had no intention of buying a tree since we won't be spending Christmas here, but to please Mati (and Nico), off I went to our local supermarket to buy an incredibly overpriced fake tree. When I got home, we brought out the decorations, played Christmas carols and indulged in watching Mateo decorate the tree.
Another first this year was laying out the nativity scene. Nico's mom gave us the nativity that had belonged to Nico's grandmother, so it has a huge sentimental value for us. Mati was very careful in placing the pieces, even kissing them to show us he understood they were delicate!
It's beautiful to see the holiday season through the eyes of our little ones. It has brought out the inner child in both of us!
