We went Christmas tree shopping today. In years past this would have involved bundling up, driving 30-35 minutes south of here and cutting down our own tree. This year it consisted of driving 10 minutes and picking out a pre-cut tree. It kind of kills the Christmas buzz, but with a sick baby who still can't nap for more than ten minutes at a time without hacking up a lung, I decided not to push the issue. At least it snowed overnight and was in the 20's so I could get in the holiday spirit. Some of you may be thinking "Really? You're getting a Christmas tree with a mobile baby in the house?" The answer is yes. I will not be putting any breakable ornaments on the tree this year and it has short, soft needles. (maybe a balsam fir???) We'll see how it goes. I decorated the living room today and Aidan is in love with the fiber optic snowman and elf village. Neither seems overly fragile and the cords are out of his far reaching grasp. They kept him occupied for the better part of this afternoon which is more than I could have hoped for.

even though it was a pre-cut tree, at least it was still a real tree!!! :)
