It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

On December 1st we got to open a present from Grandma, Grandpa, Amber, and Kaitlin Schaugaard. Tucker got some good present opening practice in. 

I think Tucker may have been hoping there was more wrapping paper underneath that first layer. It is his favorite part! We are excited that it was a Christmas Tradition Quilt. Every Year everyone gets a turn to use the Christmas Quilt during the month of December until Christmas. Here is Tucker all bundled up in it.

Tucker got some more present opening practice in at Sophie's birthday party. She didn't quite know what to do with her presents, so Tucker had to show her a few tricks on how it's done.  "See Sophie, it's sooo awesome! You get a good handful of paper and then you RIP IT OFF--like this!"

Another Christmasy thing happened around here. It snowed! I know that is no big deal to you Northerners, but St. Georgians rarely see this here! Tucker was quite confused by it. Here is the view from our back yard.

"Mommy, Daddy, what IS this stuff?" 

Also, it's a Christmas Miracle! Our basement remodeling is complete! I am so glad to have it done. I want to give a thankful shout out to all the people who helped! Even Tucker helped...kind of. 

I had to get the place vacuumed before the carpet could go in, and apparently Tucker thinks that the vacuum is going to eat him. I tried to show him that it wouldn't hurt him by letting him hold it. So much for that lesson. I think it made it worse. He probably has nightmares about it now. Poor kid.

This is us enjoying the carpet right after it got put in.

Here it is all done!

I actually have some more Christmas stuff to blog about but this post is already kind of long. So stay tuned :)
