Christmas is so much more fun with a 13 month old! It is also more challenging. All of our Christmas decorations are in storage, so we bought two $2.50 tubes of shatter-resistant ornaments on Black Friday. As it turns out, it was the only way to go. None of that, "Our baby looked at the tree for about 10 minutes and hasn't gone near it since," for us! Every day, for the whole month and at every house we visited, Jane was a tree destroyer. She never left them alone.
I didn't even get a chance for the before picture, but here is the after.
Doesn't look like a lot of ornanments, does it?
That's because they were hidden all over the house--

I'm wondering if Easter might be more Jane's style.
And so shameless going about her dirty business:

We went to Utah for Christmas, and, despite the fact that it didn't snow, it was wonderful!

It really was a great Christmas! Although more complicated, Christmas is definitely enhanced by the bright eyes of little ones.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY 2012!
We sure missed you guys at Christmas! I'm sure it was alot of fun being with those you see less often though. As your family grows and your kids get older it's going to be even more fun! And challenging... :)
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S what my tree will look like next year! Haha! I love all of the hidden ornaments.
ReplyDeleteSo hilarious... I laughed out loud because of all the randomly placed ornaments! Jane is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLove that Jane girl. I use Windows Live Movie Maker to turn and edit my videos.
