The tree is up! We had hoped to be able to put up a live, potted tree that we could plant in our yard come Spring, but it turns out you can only have one of those in your house for 7-10 days and then it releases its sap and dies. So fail on our part. I am not keen on the idea of cutting a tree every year just to put up for Christmas, so we settled on a fakey-fake, prelit one from Lowe's. I'm actually quite happy we chose it because it's really pretty and looks better than a real tree. Plus, it's not nearly as pokey-hurty. WOO! We also picked up a cheapy set of decorations. Our tradition is to buy one ornament for each other every Christmas (and now one for AJ) so that in a few years, we will have meaningful and cute ornaments that we thought each other would like. But for now, sparkly balls!
I wrapped a couple of the gifts we got in the mail (thanks Susanne and Shawny!!) so that she has something to "open" on Christmas. Read: "open" = kick/flail at/play with the wrapping paper.
I'll have to post a photo of it soon. I must get in the habit of taking more photographs since I get stalked and harassed daily for them! LOL! Just kidding, I love that everyone is so interested in what's up with us. Ok, I'm not delusional, I know y'all only want to hear updates about AJ!
With that in mind, she stares at the tree like it's the most beautifulest and interesting thing she has ever seen.
