It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas



This morning, we finally woke up to our first dusting of snow. Finally! This kicked us into the Christmas spirit and after church and hockey practice, we found a great lil' Christmas tree at the Southborough Fire Station. For all of $25! Not bad, and not too scraggly or Charlie Brown-esque. It came all the way from Nova Scotia.

Aksel's excited about re-discovering some of his past Christmas crafts. He's also excited to see his Jeanne, although he won't see her until late January. Still, that's not too far away. So, here's a video just for his great grandmother Jeanne in Florida :)

Also, Reilly has successfully co-existed with the Christmas tree for a full 6 hours now without any destruction. I know he'll eventually topple it over, but I'm pleased that he's not terribly interested in it. He's more interested in the table scraps in his food bowl. Now that he's gotten a haircut (a la the Reid bathroom salon), he doesn't he look so much like a black bear in my kitchen.

I love your tree! We're in the market for a smallish tree, too, in fact, we would like one that is about 3 feet tall so we can put it up on a table. A tree is just necessary! We can't wait to see all of you!

Good job picking out a tree. You really have it fully decorated. Reilly does look like a bear. He is huge! We can't wait for you to get here for Christmas. We have a ton of snow with a big pile in the middle of the cul de sac. The lake is almost safe to walk on too. We sure enjoy the pictures and videos that you post.
Aksel, great work on the decorations for Jeanne.
Love,
Grampa and Gramma Reid
