Quick vacation update

I have officially been on vacation since Friday, so I'm not sitting at a computer long enough to post updates, but I wanted to take a few seconds to post two photos.

First...remember all my consternation about the Christmas tree? How I agonized about the hassle of keeping two active (read: hardheaded) little grabby-hand babies away from it, the ornaments and the lights? And how I eventually gave in and put up a small one, because I couldn't stand the thought of not having any tree for Christmas -- and because everyone said I should do it and it would be fine?

I present to you, Exhibit A:



Yes, 8 million time-outs later, the tiny tree terrorists finally won.
Sigh.
We did put the tree back up, and salvaged the ornaments we could, and since then (knock on wood) they've been fairly disinterested in it. So maybe they accomplished what they set out to do and now we can move on? Maybe? Let's hope so!


Also, remember my post about not having the Christmas spirit? And about how I needed to get the boys some Santa hats, perhaps?

TOTALLY helped!!

Santa's elves do it every time!!

(I don't know how much I'll be on the computer for the next two weeks, so...Merry Christmas to all, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and many, many blessings!)

Awwwww. LOVE the Santa hats. Merry Merry Christmas to you! My first resolution for the new year is to make a date with you so we can hang out a wee bit before Curveball arrives! So start thinking. I'm thinking a Saturday night . . . maybe somewhere in Columbia, MD? Is that halfway between us? Start thinking . . .

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!!!

Your boys are looking so grown up in that picture and so handsome! Love it!

Um, oops. I'm one of those who encouraged you to get the tree. But hey, how un-Christmassy would you feel if you had no Santa hats AND no tree? Really, I saved Christmas.

As for the boys in their hats: Priceless.

Merry Christmas to you, my friend, and happy new year. This one is going to be a doozy! We're going to meet the rest of our family!!
