oh christmas tree...

upon arriving home from florida (and after recuperating from the stomach bug) we decided it was time to begin with the christmas festivities.

first things first...the christmas tree. frances was very VERY excited.

bauer, however refused to have his picture made.

only after mommy offered to have her picture made WITH him, would he cooperate.

finally after a lot of checking, shaking, and re-checking for bald spots...

we found our tree, everyone was so excited! bauer even asked to have his picture made AGAIN!

well...if i must i MUST! ;)

next...off to decorate!
