It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Our tree is up and the house has that wonderful tree aroma. We attempted to take some pictures for our Christmas cards (this was going to be the year we sent them out early! Or at least on time!), but as you can see from some of the pictures below, we had a difficult time getting the little guy to both look at the camera and smile. Finally I gave in and decided that we just weren't going to have a non-baby-deer-in-headlights picture for our card (don't worry, I haven't ruined the surprise - none of the pictures below are actually on the Christmas card). So, some of you may get cards before Christmas. Those of you across the pond may get them after the New Year. We really did try to be on top of things this year!
