Here he is, with the first round of presents underneath…

We had our girlfriends over for a little brunch and present opening a week ago….

Yum ….

this was brunch, before we ate it…   (thanks joelle, for having the sense to photo this!)

oh, and this was an edible tree  for the day, thanks to dana.  yum!

{yes, our friends do come over to eat cookies and drink cocoa in front of the fire and open presents we buy for each other.  I strongly suggest you do this too.  Lights and christmas socks  and running to Christmas parties is delightful, but this really is just perfection.}

Today Oliver is slowly being populated with presents again.  Here he is in the nighttime, all lit up.

Isn’t he oh-so-darling!!

Oh, and in case you were wondering… this is oliver’s favorite book these days. 

: )

yes, i wear crazy christmas outfits and i talk to my tree.  I’m D, and I think Christmas is the very best time of the year, by far.
