The Tree is Up

We debated on whether or not to put up a tree this year, because Cooper is so inquisitive about everything ~ we were afraid he might pull the tree down on top of himself. But, we decided to go for it and if we needed to, we could always put up the Super Play Yard around the tree...until he learned to scale that! But so far, so good. He's not even gone near the tree.

Here is the finished tree. Reagan and I decorated it while Cooper was napping.

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care.
The real trick to keeping Cooper away from the tree ~ the vacuum cleaner. He hasn't gone near the tree, not even once!

After hours of decorating, it was time for dinner. Reagan, the baker, decided to join us tonight!

Notice the carrots on Cooper's face, arms and high chair ~ he's still trying to learn to eat table food and not play with it!
