2 bears or 1?

Which one is our little bud and which one is our bear?  Frank was shocked when I showed him these two pictures side by side.  Grant was two months older in his photo than Parker Bear but otherwise, wow, do they look alike or what?  For the record, Parker is the top photo and Grant is the second!

Our great Christmas tree hunt this year!  Grant has been asking for weeks if we could go cut our Christmas tree and if Daddy was going to take his own handsaw or Grandpa's with us and he wanted to be sure he didn't forget his saw either!  He was ecstatic to finally be tromping through the forest, saws in-hand!

The picture above says it all, going at it from both sides, that poor tree doesn't stand a chance with these two around. Not an hour goes by, when they're awake, that an ornament doesn't get stripped, the lights and tinsel get pulled and shook around, the lights get switched on and then switched off, on then off, you get the picture.

This little tree is about a foot in height and Grant got to decorate it all by himself.  He sat at the kitchen table for close to an hour and tediously decorated the entire bottom branches of the tree and then announced that he was done.  I love it!

Each day Grant asks to get more ornaments out, from where I do not know, he tells me everyday that the walls need ornaments, the table, our doors, the list is never-ending and I'm pretty sure we've long since exhausted all possible ornaments in our house!  He also likes to put his toys in various places telling me he's decorating some more, I often find matchbox cars or instruments in random places throughout the house...more decorations I presume!

Lastly, this Christmas tree is by far the most prayed for Christmas tree we've ever owned.  Each night at bedtime Grant prays for our Christmas tree....and Halloween still too ;) Ha!
Christmas has definitely arrived at our house and I hope yours too!
