Our Real Tree

Here Ben says he is moving like a fish, just to be silly.

Oh Christmas Tree

Thank you Ikea for your ornaments. I now feel like we've honored a bit of our Swedish ancestry.

Another Tooth Bites the Dust

Ben lost his second tooth Dec. 6, the day we set up our Christmas tree. Unfortunately, the tooth fairy forgot to come this time. Fortunately Ben forgot as well, being distracted in the morning by the tree, so we were able to sneek some cash under his pillow before the neglect was noticed. Phew!
