Tatum's First Christmas


Ah, Baby's first Christmas. It was one year ago on Christmas Eve when I first felt Tatum move in my belly. This year she moved through the day without notice of it's uniqueness, but this will change as the years pass by. For our Christmas Tree, I adopted a Deodar Cedar from our nursery and brought it home last weekend. We decorated it with lights, a red feather boa, a lace bow and an ornament celebrating Tatum's first Christmas. Christmas Eve was spent working. Tatum's daycare was closed, so she helped me at the nursery. She had a hard time napping, so we called it an early day and went to Whole Foods to pick up goodies for a special Christmas Dinner. On Christmas morning we opened gifts. Andrew got a home brew kit, I got a bike seat for Tatum, and Tatum received a helmet. Don't worry, we won't mix the drinking with the biking.

We spent Christmas day with the Cohen's celebrating our second annual "Jewbuhmas" gathering - a collection of Jewish and Buddhist friends gathering on Christmas (by collection I mean the Cohens and Shearers). We spend the day in our pajamas eating, drinking, laughing, watching movies, and rejoicing. We hope that your Christmas too was filled with love, family, and laughter.
