So, with that said, here's December:
Decorating-wise we stuck to the same ol' minimalist approach we've had for years - tiny black, sparkly table tree decorated with a few baubles and some pretty lights, a smattering of ornaments nearby and a few other strings of Christmas lights flung around randomly. The Boys grabby hands and propensity to climb anything and everything lead us to believe we'd be better off without an actual tree just yet. We'll save that for next year, maybe the year after.
Anyhoo, we did get out to a tree farm to get a tree with Grandpa, Dada and The Boy's uncle. Here's a picture of us in front of the tree we all picked out.
Between then and the big day there was shopping, parties, baking and all of the usual hubbub associated with the holidays.
Christmas eve was spent at home, just the three of us(four if you count the kitty). We ate lasagna and opened a present before bedtime.
Christmas morning I slipped downstairs before the boys to pull out the Duplo blocks Santa brought. The Boy came down and toddled over to me, oblivious to the fact that he had new toys and playing with me like we'd always had the blocks.
After breakfast and opening the presents we went to Grandmas house. Last Christmas was spent at my dad's, so Mom was pretty darn excited to have The Boy with her this year. We opened more presents, The Boy ran around in circles, we ate roast beef, green beans and stuffing whilst breaking open the English holiday classic crackers and wearing the crown. Well, I wore the crown, The Boy was suspicious.
From there we made a brief stop at home before heading to Grandpa's house for more presents. We didn't stay long as it had been a long day and we were all tired.
We came home, gave The Boy a bath and put his sweet self to sleep.
All in all an excellent Christmas.
