Our very first (real) Christmas Tree

We had more fun than we realized decorating the house for Christmas this year. It was so fun to pick out a tree together and put our very own decorations up. Teddy also had lots of fun chewing on empty wrapping paper rolls and snagging tissue paper from already wrapped gifts! Edgar got a fresh cage while mommy let him nibble on a tree branch or two. Baby rocked to the music we had playing with a punch and a jab here and there. Daddy did all of the hard work really- lights, tree, attic trips, and vacuuming- all with a smile.

Keeping teddy from the gifts and drinking from the tree water

I have to say I got a little emotional putting up all of "my" childhood ornaments and twisting up my music box. It sure made me miss the Gropp Group

A glimpse of our new curtains for the baby room- Teddy has been very unsettled about all of the changes in this room- he kind of took it over as his "watch" position while we are gone and now there are all these changes with the Christmas tree- he has no idea what's coming to him!
