Anyways, Christmas is upon us. We are so excited and I had Joseph get out the Christmas boxes yesterday. I have begun my Christmas shopping and we will be getting our tree right after Thanksgiving. We always get a real tree but plan on getting a tiny "Charlie Brown" tree this year as we have a toddler on the attack. I decided to attempt a pin from one of my many Pinterest boards to help keep Isla from assaulting our Christmas tree. I got lucky because my pregnancy group Pinterest board actually decided to take it on as a December challenge piece. I bought all the felt from Michael's and hung it from a command hook in the walk-way. Joseph helped cut ornaments. This is the finished product:
Isla seems to really enjoy putting all the pieces up. She seems really confused though when the ornaments won't stick to the wall or other things around the house... LOL. I actually have a ton of leftover felt and think I'm going to make Isla a felt board and a quiet book or two for Christmas :) We'll see how creative I can get with those.
In other news, Isla and Joseph have been going to swimming class together. I thought it would be good for the two of them to have a thing before he leaves in a few months. I actually went with them to the 2nd class this past Wednesday and took a ton of pictures. Cole was sleeping the whole time in the ring sling.
I snapped this picture of them while they were waiting for class to begin. Can you believe my mom got Isla that suit at Target for like $3?
She had a great time collecting the little play food... she even thought it might be tasty!
Here's a couple more photos from their class:
Singing and twirling in the water....
Trying to catch her ball...
One of my favorites-- jumping into the water!
So my Colie-Olie turned 1 month old on the 10th and I have been trying to get his one month picture... but this is what happens when I try :)
Crazy girl thinks it's all about her, all the time <3
