Countdown to Christmas!

Bret and I are downright giddy in anticipation of Christmas. Elliott is pretty much oblivious. Every day, the stack of presents under the tree grows bit by bit, and Elliott is way more concerned with the cheap chocolate candy in his advent calender. (I think he might be the only 21 month old on the planet whose daily vocabulary includes the words, "advent calendar.") Here's a few pictures from after we put up the tree.

The other side: Quiet, contemplative Elliott.

"Touch? Touch?"

Elliott calls the ribbon "moon," I'm assuming because it is silvery like the moon?

It's typical that we would get the perfect Christmas card pose AFTER we send out the cards.
