Our tree makes me really happy this year.  The popcorn adds a special touch that I grew up with.  Did you know that if you freeze the strands you can use them year after year?

Anderson met Santa and quickly told him he'd like a blue race car then got very very shy.  Tucker of course had no concept of who was holding him.

A friend lent us this little red Christmas sleeper and I'm so glad she did.  It's been perfect for these occasions and mr. almost 9 pounds will probably only get a few more wears out of it before it's too small.

As for today I think my Christmas shopping is done, cards will go out this weekend I hope, and we may attempt to make buckeyes today.  It's one of those things we just have to do around here.
