Trees and Tigers and Bells, Oh My!

Once I got the tree done I took a few pictures...here's one with the lights off, all soft and glowly like...
Here is a closeup of our Christmas goldfish. He came with a lovely pack of special marriage ornaments my Mom gave Tim and I when we got married...it means something, though I can't for the life of me remember what...maybe its just a reminder that fish look cool out of water too!

One of Fletchers favorite holiday decorations appears to be the bells that get hung on the door. As soon as I put them up he pulled the bottom two off and tried his hand at the rest as well. Clearly, these things were not meant for his age bracket. I suppose I will have to find some sturdier bells...

This is Fletchers tiger, though we sometimes call it his kitty cat. Its a lovely prize I picked up at Once Upon a Child (fantastic children's consignment shop) for a reasonable price, and its got a steel cage inside so its nice and sturdy and good for climbing. Fletcher likes to crawl full speed at it with his head in ramming position, and once contact is made he will cover it in kisses. Then he will use it to pull up to his knees, grasping its big soft plush head into his hands and giving the kitty some big slobbery love. Kitty is also an excellent footrest. I think Kitty will be with us for a long time :0)
