Claws

Jr. and I talk a lot about Santa Claus. He always calls him Claws. I thought that he would relish the opportunity to meet Claws.


Not so much. Even though Faith was brave enough to sit on Santa's lap, Jr. couldn't be persuaded. He did give him a distant fist bump. Uncle Bean tricked him into this photo.




We did have a blast riding the carousel. Normally he cries and cries and we have to ride the bench, but today he was brave and rode on a pony and on an otter. Maybe it was because Faith was there next to him to help him be brave.




Last weekend we picked out a tree. It was 9 below in Helena, but was 20 degrees above over the pass. Although the temper tantrum he tossed before we embarked left his parents COMPLETELY scarred.




Once we hit the truck, he was in a much better mood.

Jr. had an absolute blast picking out a tree.










Last night just as we tuned in to the Griz game (poop!) Jr. pulled down the Christmas tree on top of himself. Ed and I were both sitting right there and bam. Tree toppled over and baby completely engulfed in Christmas. We pulled the tree off of him and there he sat completely fine. Not even a squeak. In fact he was rather disgruntled that we didn't let him participate in the ornament clean up/shop vac/carpet cleaning. Apparently Christmas is dangerous.

The new baby is a fig this week. Apparently figs make you have terrible debilitating headaches and sick all day. Thanks fig! I can't wait for week 12 and you are a lime. That is when the sickness starts to go a away. One more week!

Great photos of the Christmas tree outing. Did Jr help chop down the tree? He could have used one of his golf clubs! Maybe "claws" will bring him a tool box for Christmas. xxm/p

I can't believe I didn't make the list. Maybe if I had more readers, my photos were better and I had something interesting to say. ..

Auto - Jr. is absolutely adorable in those little overalls and his coat ready to go out and bring home the 9 foot tree. I think he's gonna be a lady slayer - better watch out with those kissable cheeks!
