Elijah Loves the Lights!

Elijah's favorite thing about Christmas so far is all the lights. He loves to look at the lights on the tree and the mantle. He will open his eyes and mouth so wide when we hold him close to the tree. Even sitting in the living room he always wants to be facing the tree.

 Even if Elijah is a little upset you can usually take him to the Christmas tree to look at it and he will just calm down and stare. 

When we were doing our proclamation ornaments (which is 25 ornaments starting on Dec. 1st  and ending on Christmas that tell the story of Jesus through the prophecies of the Old Testament and scriptures of the New Testament) we were excited to do them with Elijah. Instead of getting excited with us it just put him to sleep. We'd actually gotten behind three days, so I guess there was too much reading that he couldn't stay awake. Neal still held him up to the tree to put the ornaments on.
