We felt so lucky that they wanted to stay with us because it allowed us some extra quality time with them in between other visits. Madelyn was beside herself with joy when she learned that they would not only be coming to Arizona, but that they would be having "three sleeps at our house." Woo Hoo!

Since they were here, the kids decided it would be fun to help decorate our Christmas tree. What a lovely idea, indeed.... three extra little helpers to get it done. I loved it!
Then, Ethan started to show her how to add them to the tree.
Then she got brave, and started adding them all by herself.
Ethan decided to help rearrange her ornaments (once she went to bed, of course). I think he knows his Auntie pretty well. I tried to say it was fine, and that I wouldn't move them, but let's be honest. It would have bothered me, and yes, eventually I would have had to do the rearranging. So, thanks, Ethan for helping me get out of that one! ;)
The boys even helped Chloe get into the holiday spirit. Doesn't she look excited?
