O Tannenbaum

Last night we put our tree up. It's always been a tradition in my family to get the tree around my birthday, and that's something we're continuing. Jasper kept getting a little too excited and kept giving the tree a big hug while Jon was trying to do the lights. Plus it was about 9:00 at night while we were doing this. It was an amusing, hectic, sometimes grouchy experience, but it got done and it looks beautiful. And the added bonus is that our house smells delicious!

Looks like we might have another Jeremy on our hands

I don't know what his thing was, but he kept putting the lights on his stomach and wiggling around saying "it tickles my tummy!"

If you look closely, you can see the new baby sticking out. We get a new ornament every year and this year I bought one for the baby too.

The finished product.

(It looks like the tree is leaning in a lot of these pictures, but it's not. It's just the angle.)

Jasper is so excited about Christmas. He even made sure to give the tree a good night smooch before he went to bed.
