This was the first year that we've spent Christmas Eve Night and Christmas Day at our house. It was wonderful!
We caved this year and bought an artificial tree (my brothers croak here.) but it has been the best thing ever. I am sold. They are expensive (I was suprised!) so a little painful initially (but it will pay for itself in like 5 years!) but I have loved it. Mike was happy to not have to set it up in the stand. I was happy to not get pricked as I put lights on it and my joy goes on and on and on about not cleaning up pine needles daily and for months to come as it dies days after going up. It still looks beautiful this week! My only complaint has been the lack of Christmas Tree smell (and instead some bad smell- trying not to think about some bad chemical odor that could be) but a Christmas smelling candle nearby does the trick.
me and my oh so sweet baby love
Peter got a Curious George book that he LOVES!
Lily got an el-cheapo baby stroller... they both love to push it, not ride in it.
I'm a broken record... she's still so sweet looking even as she cries.
She also has her Daddy smitten. They cooked us a yummy Dennis breakfast- grits, bacon, and eggs... yum, it doesn't get any better!!
We chilled here all day and then leisurely headed to see Mike's grandparents, then on to L'ville. And a beautiful snow graced our drives. I feel like we finally found our Christmas groove this year.
