Cincinnati Christmas Baby
Now that you all are relaxed and cleaned up from your own Christmas celebrations, I will update you on Lillian’s first Christmas! I always have mixed emotions about making our house in Cincinnati ‘holiday ready’. Call me Scrooge, but all of the decorating and what not seems more hassle than it is worth since we are always visiting family during the week of Christmas. Even so, given that it was Lillian’s first Christmas, I felt that we had to do something. So I set out my minimal decorations, we bought a fake tree (it was so nice not having to deal with the watering, sap, and fallen needles!), lit some pine scented candles and called it a day. I did take the extra effort to write Lillian’s name in silver sparkle puff paint on a stocking to match mine, Brian, and the pets. That was about as exciting as we got down here in Cincinnati! We didn’t buy Lillian any presents because we were well aware that the Grandparents were already abuzz with buying gifts for her. And let’s be honest, she is 7 months old, how many toys does she really need? So here she is seated before our fake tree, no presents and all!
