Today we put up the Christmas tree. We're using a smaller tree this year, but Alex was just happy we were decorating and was happy to help out. Since I am due just a few weeks after Christmas, we are trying out a "low key" decorating approach. The tree and stockings will come out, along with a few other novelties, but certainly not all the decorations. I usually love decorating, shopping, baking, the whole nine yards--but this year I'm a little more sluggish with it all. Next year we'll make up for it and break out the big tree again!
On our way out to dinner tonight, we were rear-ended at a stop light in the new van. Bummer. Damage is minimal and no one was hurt, thankfully, but still a headache.
Dinner was lovely and Alex even brought his buddy "giraffey-boy" to the restaurant. We enjoyed looking at the lights in downtown Plainfield and the surrounding neighborhoods. It has been in the mid-40s so folks are already outside putting up their holiday lights while it is "warm" and sunny.

It's good to see Alex putting things on the tree this year instead of taking them off. We were just discussing that next year we'll have to worry about babyproofing the tree from a mobile baby.
Super cute!! Too bad about the van though. Hopefully you're not as unlucky as I am and get hit by uninsured motorists! :)
