Oh Tannenbaum

Merry Christmas!
We are slowly but surely getting ready for Alex's first Christmas. The tree went up last week, amid hopes that the cats and Alex would all just let it be. The cats like to sleep under it and Alex likes to slap at the branches because it makes the whole thing wiggle and the bells chime. But all in all, it has been a success! At first, the presents were being stashed in the pack-n-play. Alex LOVES paper -- ripping it, crinkling it, eating it. I put a couple of "trial" presents under the tree and Alex didn't notice them, so tonight I put the rest under the tree. It looks so pretty. Hopefully tomorrow isn't a day of taking wrapping paper away from Alex!

Staying home for the holidays had the added bonus of Penguin being added to the decor. I thought the neighbors might secretly object, but Phil said they liked Penguin.

We hope your holidays are great!
