Deck the Halls (and remember what you bought last year!)

Due to this Unfortunate Incident last Wednesday, we had to postpone our decorating and finally got around to it on Friday. It was such fun and really special to show Jack all our little traditions.

Remember why we initially went out last Wednesday, thus having to endure the Unfortunate Incident? Yes, that's right, to pick out Jack's Christmas stocking. Well, what do you know, when I opened up our Christmas box, there on the very top was a beautiful embroidered Christmas stocking just for Jack. OH MY GOSH. Can we say permanent preggy brain or what?!!! I still have absolutely NO recollection of when or from where I bought it last year. So we'll be returning the one we just bought, I guess.

Ornaments aren't for eating!
