First hair cut

Ryan had is first hair cut a few weeks back.  We were sad to say goodbye to those baby curls, but they were starting to look matted no matter what we did.  We cut it ourselves with the clippers.  I think they scared him, though, because he was really upset once we were all done. He is growing up so fast.  Each day he is looking more and more like a little boy and less like a baby.

This last one makes it look like he as nothing on top, but he really does.  It's just really blonde.

O Christmas Tree

This year we decided to hold off on putting our Christmas tree up this year since we knew Ryan would love to play with it.  We usually put it up the day after Thanksgiving, but this year we put it up mid-December.  For me, this is what kicks-off the Christmas season.  We listened to music, drank some eggnog and admired our humble, but lovely tree.  Here are some pictures:

This is the first year we've had a star on top of our tree

Finally, Christmas has begun

 

Since then Ryan has done a little bit of rearranging of the ornaments:)  Luckily, he hasn't tried to open the presents.  I'm sure that will come next year.
