Wake up daddy! While you were sleeping we bought this tree...

We watched the first movie we've ever watched with Miles last weekend: It's Christamas Time Charlie Brown (plus a bonus episode!). We made popcorn and made a big bed on the floor with thermarests and blankets. It was so cozy and relaxing -- and we can clearly see that people who let their kids watch TV may just be onto something! ;) Miles loved the part where they all boogied down, especially when Snoopy played the guitar. And, he liked when "the tree changed" and they all sing. We loved the part where we stared at the screen and did nothing for a while.

The next day, Miles was inspired to get a tree... and, considering how small our house is, it was a good thing we watched it... He actually refused anything bigger than this. I think this tree "needed him."


Here we are working on the felt advent calendar I'm making for Miles.
