Last weekend we got our Christmas tree - probably the earliest we've ever gotten this done! We bundled up before heading out.
Then we headed to Home Depot and Caden helped us pick out the perfect tree. He especially liked the part where they cut off the bottom and stuffed it into a big net.
Finally it was time to go home and decorate. We're still sticking to the shatter-proof ornaments this year (due to Caden already redecorating a few times) but we did put Caden's and Sadie's 2010 ornaments from Grandma and Grandpa Morgan up near the top.
Later that weekend Casey came up with a new building toy for Caden. He did surprisingly well with the little screw driver. He is really starting to enjoy role playing lately. This week he's spent lots of time feeding and reading to his stuffed doggie and giving him kisses when he falls down and gets hurt. Caden also looked out into the backyard a few days ago, spotted a bird, and named him Ted.
And last but not least - here's the first pic from my new fancy camera! I haven't had time yet to really learn how to use it but I'm thrilled with how it does in low light. This was taken after dark with no flash and only a small table lamp and the Christmas tree lights on. You can see why we call her Spike!
