Christmas tree

We finally got our Christmas tree up this morning. We had intended to get it last weekend, but what with all the snow we were digging out from we just didn't manage. (I'll post a picture of that soon, we've been *buried* this year - three snowstorms already!) Finally got the tree on Wednesday, but didn't manage to actually get it into the stand and up until today.

Mark was outside chopping up the ice that has been building up on the stairs so I was trying to avoid having Ant see the tree without him, but when we went to get Ant's milk after his nap, he caught a glimpse of the tree in the living room.

His first reaction was to laugh - I guess it is surprising to see a tree in the living room all of a sudden!

The he exclaimed "towah!" (tower). I replied, "actually, it's a Christmas tree", to which he responded "ho ho ho". We've been telling him that Santa Claus says 'ho ho ho', I guess he associates that with Christmas.

Since then, every time he walks into the living room, he says "teeeeee!" (tree).

On a completely different note, I'd like to request that everyone post a family picture from Christmas day!
