The Sunday after Thanksgiving Jared and I ventured out to Pliny, WV in the pouring rain to choose the family Christmas tree- luckily Grandma and Grandpa agreed to watch Jackson and loan us their truck! We hadn't been to this place before and will probably not go back there next year- although the experience was ruined somewhat by the rain. The trees were a little holey and not as pretty as the trees from last year's tree farm.
But, we finally found one that we thought was suitable. We got it decorated on Monday night and I have to say that I think it turned out quite nice. Jackson has been less then impressed, although in the past several days he has really started noticing it and seems to be enjoying it.
Now if I could just find some time to get some presents wrapped and under it! Here is a picture of Jackson "helping" us decorate the tree on Monday
We have started reading books often and Jackson clearly has a love for "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" he can be crying but will stop to listen. We tried "The Cat in the Hat" tonight and he didn't seem to be as into it.
We had Christmas pictures taken today at JcPenney's. Picture taking in studios is not going well. The first attempt at Walmart in October was a 30 second session that ended in a total melt down. Today he was happy as he could be while we were waiting, but the minute we went back to the studio he turned on the tears and turned up the volume! We took a quick bottle break, during which he was smiling and having a great time, but again the minute we went back to have pictures taken things totally fell apart! But we got a few good ones anyway, if I can figure out how to post scanned images I'll post some once we get them.
We have a fairly busy week ahead, hope everyone has a great week!
