Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!

We have finally finished decorating our house for Christmas. We didn't do too much, but we did get our tree up, stockings hung, and house lit! I'll share pictures of the decorations if and when I take them. Here are just a few of Andrew helping.

Andrew was a great big help to Daddy getting the tree up.

He also enjoyed climbling the step ladder to hang the ornaments!

It took him a day or so, but he finally realized that he could grab the ornaments off the tree and....the bows off presents, the ribbon, the garland from the mantle, the wires for the lights, etc...

Andrew also enjoys helping wrap presents. He does a great job with the wrapping paper. He even helps with the bows- notice he has ribbon in his hands that he had gotten from another gift.

On Sunday night we went to Melanie and Kit's for a spaghetti dinner. For those who don't know, Melanie's family is Italian (hince the Massanelli) and makes GREAT spaghetti! She sent us home with leftovers that we ate the next night it was soooo good! Andrew enjoyed playing with Madison and Anniston! He also enjoyed taking the ornaments off their tree, the rocks out of their fireplace (it wasn't lit), banging the remote on Kit's laptop, taking things off their shelves, and laying in Jack's dog bed. I'm telling you- if you want to know if your house is baby proof, just borrow Andrew for a couple of hours and you'll know!

Here we are at our third doctor visit in six days. The Rocephin shots did not work and we have been referred to an ENT to discuss tubes. It's basically just so he can look at Andrew's ears and tell us when we need to schedule the appointment to get them put in. We're hoping that it will be quick so he will feel better! Oh, by the way, he was sitting in the drawer of the exam table. The doctor came in and thought it was great! I was glad the drawer didn't break- I don't think insurance covers that!

Today was Andrew's Christmas program at school. It was really cute! He was a reindeer- minus the antlers, he took them off! He rode in a wagon (Santa's sleigh) with his best friend Emma.

Andrew was not the least bit afraid of Santa. He went right too him. It could have been because he had a sugar cookie in his hands. That's why you can't see his smile! It was a pretty calm reaction to Santa. I don't think he even realized that he was any different then the rest of us.
