"Look At 'Dat..."

This past weekend we put up our Christmas tree and decorations... and the greatest thing was just listening to little one "rave" over it all as it happened. I think DaDa and I heard, "Oh wow, look at 'dat"... about a million and one times. She just couldn't get enough of it... She just kept pointing at each and every light on the tree, and then at each and every ornament. What a blessing to witness a little one's first time decorating for Christmas.

The best part, was all of the cookies from the swap, were set out for us to enjoy as we decorated... and Charlotte couldn't believe that there were THAT many cookies to choose from.

This is Charlotte's "you really need to stay back from my cookies" face... or her "don't judge me... the Dr. said I need to gain a little more weight" face...

Charlotte and I picked up our first "family" ornament at the Express Bus Terminal last week. She even calls the big owl, "Da Da", the middle one "Mama" and the small one, "Char Char"...

Last year, I decided to start my own tradition... taking a polaroid picture of our feet under our tree on Christmas Eve... I can't wait to take one this year with Charlotte's feet added to the bunch.

The best "view" this time of the year...
