Decked the halls.

i did a little decorating for christmas here at the "condo," which i have renamed the "igloo," by the way. it never gets above 60 degrees in here, so our tree still has all of its needles and probably still thinks that it's outside in the frigid mountain air. i'll be sad to take it down next week.



in my family my great-grandma has knit stockings for each of us. she passed away this year, and so my grandma joan took up the tradition and knit a stocking for alex. now he's officially part of the family.





oh christmas tree!

it has been a long-time tradition in my family to go to our cabin the day after thanksgiving and cut down a fresh christmas tree, so alex and i kept the tradition going this year...


proud alex. we forgot a saw, so he cut it down with an axe and didn't mind the opportunity to practice his "lumberjack skills."
