I demanded that we get a tree this year and so we did, quite late into Christmas too! It’s just a little one, no taller than I am and the poor guy’s a little bit flimsy and can’t hold up heavy ornaments, which means neither of us were able to hang all of our ornaments, but I’m not complaining! It was a dream come true really. All of the presents are neatly arranged under our Charlie Brown tree and Conor is persistent in his begging to open up “one” Christmas present. I always say no although sometimes I’ll toy with him first. Conor is the worst at waiting for his birthday or Christmas to come before he opens gifts. And it doesn’t help that our neighbors are opening one gift a day leading up to Christmas because they can’t fit all their gifts in their luggage (thanks a lot Mel and Ryan!). And so as grinch-like as this sounds, I will be grateful for Christmas Day because then the nagging will cease!! You know what I really dislike about Conor’s inability to just hang in there? I’m the one that got named the “peeker” in his family and FYI, I’ve never peeked. Not even once!
Here are a couple shots of our lowly Christmas tree and gifts. No ornaments in these ones!
