A tale of two Christmases

Two posts in two days...Don't get used to it! This is Adam posting because he has a minute now that school is done for the semester and my beautiful family is fast asleep on this snow covered winter morning. I was reading Alicia's posts and noticed there are a lot more photos of me and Douglas then there are of Alicia and Douglas. As is the case with many new mothers, she gets more of the work and less of the glory--but is an incredible mother, more loving then I bet she ever thought she could be.

We've been talking with friends about the difference a year makes and how, looking back, it can seem like both a lifetime ago and the blink of an eye. Which reminded us of last Christmas when we had a 15 foot Christmas tree and a lot more room (even though it didn't seem it at the time). So here are some photos for comparison and others...

Christmas 2009

Giant tree and no baby

Christmas 2010

Baby tree, and baby baby

The following is the Grizwald's attempt at getting the perfect Christmas photo...

We're still working on it!

Finally, some photos from Paul's birthday, it was fun hanging out with the fam and celebrating his 58 years. Check out that lung action!

And Douglas just slept through the night from 8pm until 7am, only waking up once (at 2am)...Dare we say he's getting the hang of it?
