Christmas Cards 2008

Here are some pictures we took of Chase in front of the Christmas tree, trying to get that perfect picture for our Christmas cards. Of course, we didn't get a "perfect" one, but they were all so cute, I wanted to share.



One thing I'll never forget is how much Chase loved the Christmas tree this year. He wanted to help decorate when I was putting the ornaments on, so I let him put some of the plastic balls on the tree. It was so funny, he hung every ball on the same branch, and then proclaimed, "Look Mommy! Chase did it!!!" We eventually got him his own little tree, complete with colored lights, and gave him his own ornaments to decorate it with. He loved his tree! And he loved getting up every morning and turning the lights on to the big tree. As soon as they came on he would say, "It's so pretty!!" At first, this comment concerned us a little, but we soon found out that on his Barney Christmas DVD, after they finished decorating the Christmas tree, Baby Bop says, "It's so pretty!!" - just the way Chase was saying it. He watched that DVD so much that he was reciting the lines before the characters said them. He even learned all the words to the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," including the dance moves. So cute!!!!!!
