Christmas

Here are a few shots of Corbin digging in his stocking and opening gifts.  This year was really fun watching him get so excited over whatever was inside the package.  Of course he wanted to play with whatever he opened making present opening last all together too long.  Lesson learned: less really is more!

Decorating the tree

I was a little apprehensive about letting Corbin near my Christmas decorations this year.  Last year he was too small to care so I didn't have to worry.  Here we are going through my totes of ornaments and decorations.  Turns out little man didn't have too big a problem leaving the breakable things alone as long as I let him hang the other stuff. 

Just one side note, we bought new LED lights this year.  If you know my husband he would NOT stand for the regular old lights of which we have um, approximately 12 boxes of... We had to buy new.  So, two trips to town and 720 lights later we had a lit tree (which besides the pic below I failed to take any photos of).

Annual Christmas Tree hunt



Last year we decided to try a tree farm in Janesville called Tannenbaum Acres.  We were very happy with the entire experience and have made it a Williams family tradition.  This year we brought Grandma Sandy along to take some family photos.  Here we are with our (ridiculously expensive but beautiful) tree.

Tannenbaum Acres is a family friendly place as you can see from the photo above.  Corbin got to help cut the bottom off of the tree and helped wrap it in netting too. 

I think Corbin and Daddy had more fun petting and feeding the reindeer than finding the tree.  Regardless, we are planning to make more memories with Tannenbaum Acres in the years to come.
