Christmas Tree, Christmas Lights, and Reading at an Unusually Young Age

Jessica Claus came early this year and did an absolutely fabulous job decorating our Home Depot special Noble Fir. When Santa comes this year, he'll probably not want to leave as he stares wondrously at the most beautiful tree he's ever seen! Not to worry though, after he eats the cookies that I bake him, he'll be up that chimney so fast that he'll probably leave all the other kids' gifts behind. Sneaky, sneaky I know, but I think it might actually work!



Decorating the outside of the house for our first Christmas here was a blast! I can't tell you how much fun I had standing at the top of my 10 foot ladder as it was leaned way too steeply against the tree trunk. I had to hug the sap-laden tree to prevent myself from taking the tumble backwards! Good times, good times :) You'll probably notice that the trunk closest to the house isn't quite as high as the other trunks. Well it's for good reason. The top section of the lights burned out and after thinking about the harrowing task of going through them light by light to find the dud, I decided that I would personally smack anyone who had the gall to make fun of my tree!






Need I say more?......

At this pace, I plan on retiring in 8 months. Good job Samuel :) Daddy is so proud!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

You don't have to tell me that my grandson is the smartest baby on the planet! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And your tree and lights are beautiful! Love you...all three!

As a first grade teacher ... I am so happy to see Samuel already looking at alphabet books! He is SO adorable, and you are such a cute family. It was fun to see you two and meet Samuel for "early" Thanksgiving.

Your home is beautiful, especially with all the lights!

Love to you this Christmas Season.
