I’m a little late on the Christmas recap/tree decorating pictures but hey, what are you going to do?

Duncan wasn’t quite sure what to make of the Christmas tree.

Truth be told, when we brought it in he started crying.

Christmas trees are scary! Especially when your mom is laying on the ground underneath the tree to get the thing in the stand!

Our little soldier warmed up to it quite fast though. I took him over to it so that he could touch it and see that it wasn’t a boogeyman!

Decorating it was, eh. He didn’t quite know what to make of it. He liked touching the ornaments though.

I didn’t get very many pictures of the present opening because I was too busy enjoying the moment.

That’s the good thing about holidays though, you get wrapped up in the moment of just being. Then later you get mad at yourself that you didn’t take enough pictures to remember the moment.

Here’s a few of Duncan and Daddy opening some presents though!

Like what the cats have done to the couch?

Christmas was a blast. Duncan made out like a bandit and I loved his first Christmas.

There are six days left. Six. This month has gone too fast and I have gotten nothing done.

I’m excited for Duncans first Christmas and quite hopeful that next year will be even better. There was so much that I wanted to do/buy that I just didn’t get to or have enough money for.

I will probably be doing a Christmas in January. It’s being with family that really matters anyway, right?

What is it? I will be taking a photo a day. That is at least 365 photos for the year. Then I at the end of the year I am going to treat myself to a photo book of all (or most) of the photos that I take.

I figure I will budget about $100 for it. I saw on another website they got their photo book from a site called Blurb. They print the books with a hardcover if that’s what you want and they look like really great quality!

So, I will be attaching the photos to a separate website which I am still working on. I’m quite excited.

Of course, the photos will more than likely be all of Duncan.

My little guy will not have a total gummy smile now. He will be a boy with a tooth! Right now it is barely poking through but it is quite enough to see that it is definitely there.

While nursing him, I have yet to feel it. That just means that 1-it isn’t in enough to make an impact and 2-he doesn’t know the “fun” stuff it can accomplish.

Oh, I can wait for that time, for sure.

He didn’t even laugh much today. That is so unlike him. Tonight has been a lot better. Just the fact that I’m up and on my computer can testify for that. I thought we were heading in the same direction as last night until the poor guy passed out. Now he’s sawing logs and I got to get up and stretch!

I just hope these teeth pop out of there quickly and he’s out of the pain that he’s in. It’s horrible.

Tomorrow, if he gets a good nights sleep, we’re going to see Santa!

Well, Shaina told me that Santa is at Walmart and they take the picture for free and it is also a 5×7 photo. Guess where we’re going to get Duncan’s picture taken with Santa? Walmart is right!

I remember them doing it about five years ago but didn’t think anything of it after that. She’s going to find out the hours he’s there and tell me and then we’re going to see Santa Claus!

It was a lot of fun as usual. We had to have dinner a little early. So early in fact, that it was just called lunch. We ate around 1pm because my sister had to leave for work around 5pm. Truth be told, I kind of enjoyed having it as a lunch instead of a dinner. There was plenty of time for the food to just sit there and then I was able to actually feel hungry after. That is instead of the normal feeling like a fat cow that just needs to eat and sleep.

Duncan quite enjoyed his first Thanksgiving. He had a little bit of turkey and a taste of the cranberry sauce. I don’t think he actually got any of the turkey into his mouth. Pre-dinner/lunch he nomed on his measuring cup.

You’ll have to try the pre-dinner measuring cup nomming sometime. It’s a must.

During dinner we had the usual conversation of going around the table and telling what you are thankful for. Which of course, in our family no one can just take it seriously.

However, it did turn to Nick telling us how babies are processed.

That story is for another day. Although, the boys faces were funny.

Don’t mind the background. It’s just Sheetrock and plywood.

The story in one word: Amazing.

Oh, the big wet spot on the table? Yea, we can never just stay too nice for too long!

There goes all the napkins!

Shaina’s fountain soda cup is classy. We’re all about class around here!

And here’s a couple pictures I thought were cute.

So our Thanksgiving was pretty fun if I do say so myself.

And I do.

On to Christmas! Bring it on December!

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!

I hope it’s fantastic, warm, and full of fantastic food.

I’m horrible at the number of days I’ve missed so I’m going to stop counting them.

I have no excuse. Well, I do but, I won’t use him!

Why I’m thankful: Smiles.

Day 8. Can you believe it? Where does the time go and, why is it going by so quickly?

Now, what am I thankful for today? Oh yes, sleeping babies.

Without sleeping babies I could not see this:
