Tonight rehearsal for the
Christmas program was canceled, so I got to stay home and we put up our Christmas tree. Last year on Christmas day
Hannah was only nine days old, so as you can see, this whole Christmas tree thing is news to her. We'll see what she does tomorrow... she's crawling pretty well now, so she may well get into it pretty quickly!
At our house, traditionally it is the
daddy's job to put the lights on the tree. And also, if possible, to get hopelessly entangled in them. No, I'm just kidding... actually I think the worst thing that happened this year was I dropped a green bulb by accident so until I picked it up and put it back in the light string, we had no green lights. The horror!!!
This is
Mikey trying out some of the settings on our string of lights. He didn't know yet how particular
Cathy is about exactly how often and how quickly the lights blink. Now he does... he was down there for a good 5-6 minutes saying "This one?" and Cathy saying "No!"
Mikey mentioned days and days ago to me that he couldn't wait to read
The Christmas Lizard this year. I'm not sure why he was quite that charged up about it, but as soon as he got a chance he read it to Mama! I even got some video of him reading it to her... sorry, no way to scan it into the computer. take my word for it, it's very sweet. Mikey has a pretty entertaining fake Russian Nutcracker accent. hehe
It's late, so I'm going to post and go to bed... but here's a picture of the finished product. And there are a few more pictures of the evening
here. Merry Christmas!
