Our annual tradition of cutting down our tree at Deer Hill Farm in Princeton continued again this year. And just like it has done almost every year, it started to snow flurry while we were hunting for our tree. We decided this year that they must have a magic snow making machine hidden in the tree forest!!
The kids are enjoying the tree and get so excited every morning when we light it up (at 6:30am each morning - can't wait to see our light bill this month!!) I haven't been able to keep presents under it this year though - Sophia started unwrapping them all one day so I had to move them all back up into our secret hiding spot!
Evan has been very excited this year to count down to Christmas Eve and has been keeping very good track for us on the advent calendars.
One thing Evan is asking for this year for Christmas is his front tooth - actually probably two front teeth, as the other one is about to pop out at any moment! He's growing up too fast, losing teeth already :(
Sophia is growing up too fast too - she's almost 17 months old and is doing great! She's so much fun - a little rascal. She has no fear and therefore usually has a visible bruise somewhere on her forehead (right now it's her chin that's bruised). I can tell we'll have our hands full with her. Evan was never this brave at this age. He was content to roll his cars along the carpet or inspect tags on all his toys at this age for hours on end. Sophia never sits still and is constantly wanting to be around her brother. She's a good girl though and we love her to pieces!
Sophia is our own "Elf on the Shelf"! Her favorite place to sit since we put up our Christmas tree is behind it, on the heater shelf. She is always behind the tree, having her bottle, playing with toys or just hiding from us quietly. Honestly one day I thought she had disappeared - Ev and I couldn't find her anywhere. I was actually starting to panic when I spotted her behind the tree, quiet as a mouse, hiding...she is a rascal!!
Evan had his holiday music concert and party last week at nursery school. He did a great job clapping and ringing his bell - it was really cute and he was SO excited for it this year - He just loves school these days!
Kissing under the Mistletoe!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
