O Christmas Tree!

"O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
You stand in verdant beauty"

-The only verse of the song I could remember today...

Happy Gaudete (Rejoice) Sunday! 

And Happy Feast of Saint Lucia! 

We celebrated by getting our Christmas tree and lighting it up! 

 Cutting the tree. 

Stinging up lights. 

Hanging the first ornament. 

Sweet siblings

Showing ornaments to Rosie. We realized that ALL of our 6 ornaments are baby friendly, made of wood or felt. I think we'll try to keep it that way as we collect more ornaments. How delightful to have a tree that is not fragile. Peter loves taking the ornaments on and off. 

We got to go and see our island's production of the Nutcracker. Even since seeing the fantastic performance, Peter has wanted a nutcracker of his own. Cosmo helped him build a Duplo nutcracker: 

So cool! 

Nothing cuter than chubby baby legs, am I right?
