With Christmas that is. Just check out this little chicken in action. (And our tree, of course!)
We got the job - the best job ever - done after Nory went to bed last night. The thought of doing it while she was awake only occupied our brains for about 0.2 seconds before we laughed and declared the task more suitable for a duo. We also used our visions of "Nory + Christmas Tree" to select a tree location that would have the greatest chance of survival. Ah-hem, Nornado warnings are rather frequent in this house, hence it's placement atop our tall-yet-small table. (You will also notice that Phil's tv has been elevated in our attempt to Nornado-proof).
Then the waiting-for-Nory-to-see-it began. Waiting for morning felt like forever and I didn't even have an ounce of bed-envy until past 11 o'clock! I wanted Nory to wake up and see her very first Christmas tree and I wanted it to happen ASAP!!!! Wouldn't you know she chose TODAY of ALL DAYS to sleep in until 6:20 and make Ma and Pa wait it out some more.
When I finally heard her sweet little "COME AND GET ME!" coo's in the monitor, I couldn't help but race to her room and wake Phil up to do the official "tree lighting". We counted to three and with a big TA-DA, the lights came on and we all smiled and awed and one of us almost started to cry (wonder who that was....). It was SUCH A SPECIAL MOMENT!
Phil went back to bed after this (the event triggered various amounts of JOY in the three of us), but Nory and I stayed up to enjoy the commencement of our holiday season. You can tell from the photo that she was quite eager to climb that table and get to that tree!
Hooray for Christmas! Hooray for FIRST CHRISTMASES! Hooray for FAMILY! Hooray, HOORAY!
Top it all off with a "fresh balsam" candle from Bath & Body Works. We've got it MADE.
