On Sunday, we put up our faux Christmas tree. We bought the tree last year in anticipation of being somewhere that wouldn't have fresh ones available. It's different. Pros--no sap on our hands while hanging lights, no stand to wrestle with, and no watering required. Cons--no fun day of traipsing around looking for just the right tree and no wonderful smell. That con outweighs all the pros! Regardless, Liam loves it, and LOVED helping decorate this year. We showed him all his ornaments, and he took one look at Geoff's little boy photo ornament (see below) and said, "That's Liam!" They really DO favor each other, huh?
He's really getting it this time--he knows Christmas is coming, and he knows "Baby Jesus is not yet" (Liam's profound statement as we assembled our nativity set minus the key players). It's really fun this year, and the likelihood of our having a white Christmas is pretty high! So even though we are far away from dear family, we are getting into the Christmas spirit, and Liam is loving every minute of it!
