Christmas Time!

Closer to Christmas

We have been busy this week, as have all of you I'm sure. Shopping, wrapping, decorating, baking, planning...it's all for Christmas Day. Here are a few snapshots I took this week.

I have to tell you the story behind this tree. We hadn't gotten a tree yet and it was only a couple weeks until Christmas. My parents brought over a small tree that they were getting rid of in order to buy a bigger one. The small tree was perfect for our tiny house and just the right size for Cohen. Well, it was decorated all in gold and silver. Although very pretty, it wasn't exactly our taste (sorry mom!). I didn't care to take all the decorations off and get new ones. It bothered Noah enough to strip the tree down to just the lights. I was like "what the heck are you gonna decorate it with". I really didn't want to spend the time or money getting decorations. So he and Cohen got to work. Cohen and daddy decorated the tree from base to tip with cohens toys. Mostly balls, since they are Cohen's favorite. And of course, the tree topper is Pablo the Penguin, Cohen's favorite. It turned out really cute, and it's Cohen's first tree so it's perfect!

This and That

Just wanted to show you a few pics we took this week. He is just so edible!
