It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Things here in Denver have been good. We went Sunday to buy a Christmas tree (MUCH harder to do here than in NC; nothing grows here, not even Christmas trees, so we ended up with a Fraser Fir imported from Idaho of all places). We spent Sunday evening decorating the tree.

Eli loves it of course, since he's enthralled with bright lights, patterns, and colors. He stares at it pretty constantly. For example:

We woke up this morning to about 2 inches of snow (and it's still coming down). This is one of the best things about Colorado...it's not stingy with the snow, and often (like in this case) you'll get snow even when they weren't remotely forecasting it. It's great. Eli still hasn't noticed the difference between snow and non-snow, so he is pretty blase about the whole thing. Here's the tree with this morning's snow through the window:
