Corinne's First Christmas
Gift opening is serious business
Santa brought Corinne a pony, Simba was jealous.
Well, she certainly is not old enough to understand Christmas, or Santa, or any of that, but she seemed to totally get having fun a blast with her family, getting new toys, and that wrapping paper is DELICIOUS.

Installation
Thank you Mom, Dad, and Aunt Sherry for watching Corinne last night. I am glad you guys had a good time. I had the pleasure of attending the Mason Officers Installation with Kevin's parents last night.
It was the first time I had been in the Lodge. The stained glass is gorgeous and the formality of it all was interesting to me. The Master of Ceremony blew me away, he took time to teach us all a little about the history of the Free Masons. He also had the entire ceremony memorized. Kevin was elected Senior Deacon. Which means he is the right hand man of the head of the lodge (his buddy John).
The ceremony was followed by a lovely dinner at Bakers. Then we stopped by the house to put the little one to bed. I actually got to go drink at the Legion with my husband. It was a great night, I got to glimpse at what Kevin does every Tuesday.

oh Christmas tree
Well, I am happy to report that my back is normal again. As such, we finally choose the perfect Christmas tree and it is now up in our dining room. Corinne has enjoyed many views of it. It was an interesting challenge this year. We now need to have a back seat to all go get a tree. So, the magical Focus hatchback loses some of it's magic. We needed to plan ahead and borrow someone's SUV or truck to all go select the perfect tree. We made these arrangements and then , it rained. This did not sound like a fun family outing in the rain. So, I ventured out alone to fetch the perfect tree. I was successful and we enjoyed trimming the tree together.
Corinne is sleeping 10 -12 hours at night now. She wakes up every morning at 6 am for a quick snack, then she finishes sleeping for a couple more hours. She had a blast and Aunt Kristin and Uncle Jeff's baby shower. She seemed to be quite the charmer.
