Who is this santa fellow?
Jingle, Jangle and the littlest elf
CUTEST. ELF. EVER. 
Seriously mama, enough with the camera.
Hey! we found a naked baby under our tree!!
You know, mama, I think I'm gonna like this "Christmas" thing after all.Note to all those reading, yes the tree is fake. After a teary trip to the tree farm a few years ago, I insisted on a fake tree. Yeah, I'm a freak. Anyway, the tree is up, and Christmas music is in the cd player. (I may tire of it though)... and yes, I cried.
You see, each of our ornaments tells a story, from a place we've been or somone we know. As Ryan and I decorate each year, we reminisce about where we bought them, or who they remind us of. I picked up one ornament from our honemoon, and asked Ryan if he knew when we bought it. He didn't, without looking at the back.
I said, "you know you're going to have to remember, because someday Ruby will be decorating the tree with you and will say, 'Daddy? Daddy tell me where this one came from' "
Actually, I started crying after the first 'Daddy'. I am such a sap!

i am a major sap about christmas, too. we have the soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas -- it always makes me cry!
last year was the first year i absolutely could not cut down a tree simply because of tradition. we bought a live potted tree, which we then proceeded to kill from neglect before valentines day. we'll try again this year.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...*sniff* :)
I love the new layout...are you bein' a copycat? ;)) I tried to do the beta thing last week, but it wouldn't let me yet...maybe I'll try again.
That's crazy about google...how dumb are they??
oh i must send you rosemary clooney and gladys knight xmas albums...you will never tire of these!!!
i like the new look of the blog, and i love the new look of the house, the parents and the baby. all very merry.
:o)
I have the same conundrum about trees. I hate the idea of chopping down a tree just to dress it up and put its corpse on display, but I also don't want people to think I'm cheesy.
When I am rich and own acres of land I am going to get the live trees with the root balls.
Ruby, as always, is amazing.
The cutest elf is now our desktop background.
Ruby you are our best Christmas decoration ever!

Oh my gosh, such adorable holiday photos!
Okay, now I'm not just tearing up a little; I'm blubbering...doin' the ugly cry.
The pictures are so great!! While I'm not really wanting my son to come early, oh how I wish I could see him and have him be here for Christmas!! Maybe we can just open presents in January!! ;-)
