The Start of Christmas


We couldn't wait to put up our ten dollar Christmas tree this year! As you can see from this picture, I miscalculated how many yards of ribbon we would need for the tree. Oh well, I'll fix that later. Yesterday, Zachary and I spent the day getting in the holiday spirit. First, we downloaded the greatest Christmas music of all time. The Alabama Christmas CD. What are the odds that both of us grew up listening to that album? The difference is that his family loved that cd, and my sisters and I used to gag every time we heard Thislehair the Christmas bear. Coincidentally, for both of us, that music feels like Christmas. It was a really fun night, my sister Kelley came over and brought carmeal and apples. mmmm.. doesn't get much better than that! Sadly, the canker sore in my mouth prevented me from eating as many as I wanted.
Jonah loved looking at the christmas tree! He could have stared at those lights all night!
Zachary made sugar cookies! Kelley and I were both very impressed with his baking. He even homemade cream cheese frosting! I think I might just start trusting him in the kitchen..we'll see.

That tree is nice. The ribbon cracks me up though! It's like about as funny as our tree with all the ornaments on the upper half.
