I do love our Christmas tree - every year I think I suggest to Chadmo that we have a Christmas tree year round (more troublesome since we have a real one though). There's that awkward spot in our middle living room that just never feels right except when there's a Christmas tree in it!
I know Dylan's pack n' play is a mess, but can you spot the thing that doesn't belong?
Nope, it's not Elephant. He's supposed to be there. But you're very close...
You got it - one very naughty cat named Farrah! Who absolutely knows she's not supposed to be in there, but can't seem to resist that fabulous, comfy nest of blankets with a perfect 'cave' made by the changing table.
She got such a complex from me photographing her behaving poorly that she had to extricate herself as soon as I walked away. Here she is sitting innocently on the living room rug, pretending she wasn't just trying to get herself on the 'naughty' list a few seconds ago.
Then I went back to check on Daddy & Dylly to see if Miss Roo was being good and going to bed. She'd seemed asleep and Chadmo had laid her down, but instead of sleeping she had tricksily wiggled her crabclaws out of her swaddle and was just playing away in her crib. (It's dark in there, this is all flash lighting.) When I took her picture she looked rather pleased with herself, our little night owl! We love you bunches Dylan!
Today felt very Christmas-y - Dylan and I went over to Oldemor's house to give her her Christmas gifts. We stayed for a couple of hours, had tea & cookies, and played underneath her Christmas tree. It was a very cozy afternoon that we'll have to repeat soon. Then we headed home and had our Christmas exchange with Sheri & Christy, who gave us all sorts of nice things and who seemed pleased with their gifts as well. Finally, I ran over to the Dickerson's to drop off some Christmas presents we'd picked up for Emrie, Hen-Hen, & Greta. The gifts were quite the success and now I'm just dying for the day when Dylan can be that excited for Christmas presents!
Tomorrow night is Lille Julaften, which Chad, Dylan, & I will be hosting at our house. Grandma McMillan (Mimi) is coming down, and Kelly, Jesse, Mom, & Poppy will all be here too. I can't wait! Then there will be Christmas Eve festivities, Christmas Day relaxation & loveliness, and then we have a couple of Christmas parties to go to next week. It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Family, friends, good food, cozy nights, & Christmas trees. <3
