I insisted we get a tree this year so that he could enjoy his first Christmas tree at our house in anticipation of the big day. I don't think I did a very good job of decorating it, but while it may not have been the prettiest Christmas tree ever, but I figure it was still the prettiest one Reid had ever seen ('til he got to Nana's house anyway). He seemed alright with it.
We spent the actual day of Christmas in Dallas at Nana and Grumps' house where the Christmas elf got to make his final appearance of 2008 with Santa Schnauzer.
He got to spend some quality time with Nana, Grumps, and his adorable cousin Ian
as well as Auntie Ling and Uncle Michael. 
Christmas morning was a blur of toys with two kids around. They made out like bandits! I hadn't seen a Christmas morning like that since... well, since my brother and I were kids. Reid enjoyed checking out his new presents
And of course, tasting them.
Harvey got a beautiful new Christmas collar
but apparently that wasn't enough for him. He wanted to be in on the toy action.
The only downside to our Christmas in Dallas was that Reid's sleep was once again disrupted by the change in environment, and he woke up every couple of hours. Often with babbles and squeals of delight signifying his mistaken perception that it was time to play at 3am. Which meant Momma was exhausted the whole trip. So much for those friends I wanted to catch up with and those movies I wanted to see while free babysitting was available... I was too tired!
Oh, well. Maybe next year, Momma will catch a break... this year, it was all about the boys. With faces like this, how could it not be?
