Ok. It's time for the big catch-up. Christmas happened. Since our Christmas letter got sent out after the new year, I suppose its only fitting that I'd be posting Christmas pictures on January 14th. Let's begin with the world's worst tree. It was terrible. It never really took much water, it wilted really fast, and locked in all of the internal ornaments with it's extrodinarily dry branches!! And, we kept trying to straighten it, then we figured that the whole triangle shape was just off kilter from the main trunk... terrible. 
Here, you'll see that we were so set on not dealing with a 15-month-old messing with presents, we put the tree in a corner on a table, blocked it off with furniture, and put the presents in the tv nook!! Ridiculous.
Oliver definitley doesn't have that "smile for the camera" thing down. at all.
Oliver isn't convinced this is a good idea. Avery has really warmed to Santa! She told him she wanted a Three Muskateers Barbie and that Oliver wanted a ball (which he did!!).
Doesn't it look like the reindeer's hoof is holding Oliver in place?
Ok, see ya next post!
I have to agree with you about the tree and the reindeer. Better luck next year-with both the tree and Ollie's visit with Santa!
