Decorating for Christmas this year was the most fun it has ever been! Timmy, at 3 and almost a half, was old enough to do much of the decorating himself, adding that special brand of magic that can only be called the Timmy Touch to all that he did. Emily, at almost a year old, was old enough to be swept away by the awe and wonder of her first Christmas.
