Tis The Season...Let the Traditions Begin

Saturday, December 5, 2009
Dear Max,
I love this time of year - and how full of traditions it is. Yesterday we put up our Christmas tree and that means that we get to sleep under the tree! When I was growing up our family would always sleep under the tree on the first night after we got the tree up. This was always so fun, cause our big Christmas tree was downstairs and our bedrooms were upstairs, so it seemed so cool to be able to sleep all night down stairs! We would stay up and watch Christmas movies, pop popcorn and drink hot chocolate. Daddy and I have carried this tradition on in our family and for the past 9 Christmas' the two of us have slept under the tree. This year we made and extra big bed for all of us to sleep and decided that we would watch Elf.


Trying to get a picture of the three of us... This is as good as it was getting...


Max and the Christmas Tree



We got our big bed made...


You had your bottle...


Watched the movie for a little bit...


Watched a little bit more...


And then started to leave... this should have been our warning. You were so confused that we were going to sleep there. You tossed and turned and tossed and turned. Finally you fell asleep. Then at one point in the night Daddy and I woke up to find you had crawled off the bed and was sleeping on the floor. We decided it was time to put you in your crib to finish sleeping the night there. Maybe next year you will make it through the night. We love you Max!
