Karis and the Christmas Tree

This was our first Christmas with a child in the house. Karis conveniently became more mobile during the month of December. Therefore, we had to be careful which ornaments we placed toward the bottom of the tree. By Christmas day, we had to move the beads up higher so she didn't grab them and try to eat them.









Santa even visited our house early this year. Our neighbor, Terry, dresses up as Santa every year and he came knocking on our door on December 16th to bring Karis a candy cane. She wasn't too fond of Santa though. I realize now what all those parents feel like when their kid doesn't want to sit on Santa's lap.
