Brooklyn Christmas


We leave for our big West Coast holiday trip early tomorrow morning, but we got started celebrating Jacob's first Christmas a little early here in Brooklyn. All we needed was a cute elf hat, courtesy of our wonderful babysitter, Margot! We all think that it makes Jacob look like a Who from Whoville.

Yesterday we ventured to Macy's to meet Santa - It was a delightful trip through Holiday Lane, but actually meeting the Big Guy himself brought Jacob to immediate tears. Somehow in the last week he has developed stranger anxiety - perfect timing for our big West Coast trip!

Today we went to our play-group's holiday party, hosted by Erica and Charlotte.

We had a wonderful time rolling around with all the babies, but this was as close as we could get to a group picture (we shouldn't have waited until the end of the party, I think!):



Before bed tonight we celebrated our own small Christmas by opening some gifts that were too big to bring West with us. As you can see, Jacob is primed for the big day next week!


This whole year is rushing by so fast, and this week especially we are trying to slow down and enjoy the beautiful small moments that are creating such special memories as fast as we can live them. Jacob is an absolute joy and every minute with him is one that we cherish. These holiday minutes are particularly wonderful, though, I have to say.
