Our couch is on an angle in the corner of the lving room, so we are getting a real tree (I can just cut it down from behind my house) and we'll pull out the couch a bit so it can fit in the corner behind it and be difficult to reach. We are also only going to have lights and Salvation Army ornaments on it.

I get Natures Way Bio-Certified Sambucus with Elderberry, Echinacea and Propolis Kids Syrup at Whole Foods.? I use the adult version (same brand) for me.?Both my kids and I are getting it twice a day.?We had just started it when DH got the Swine Flu, ODS, DD and I did not get it (dh did not want to take it).?

We have an artificial tree. I think this year we will forgo the glass ball ornamets because DS is super curious and has very sticky hands! I think he will be fine, although I'm sure we'll have to redirect

Julia - Thanks for the tip!!!? We have been thinking we wanted the Baby Jogger City Elite, but are having a hard time justifying $600 for a stroller.? I may jump on this deal though.?

A fitted sheet, a baby blanket, a small tag blankie and a teddy bear.? We did only a fitted sheet till about 15 months and added the other things one at a time.? She never goes near the blanket, but she will hug tag blankie or the bear now and then.

I didn't realize how close to two they are getting! This thread shocked me! I am 100% sure this will be a small dinner with possibly her one friend over. Most of the people we know just got moved away and we have no family here. I'm due with her little brother two days after her birthday so that will be the best present for her! (and so I guess family might be here?) We'll see, nothing big though. I like celebrating but not...

I guess I don't buy into the big birthday bash...particularly annually. I think of birthdays as being a small, family thing. With, a few bigger celebrations per life. For DS's first, I made an angel food cake w/a fresh strawberry center, and fresh homemade whipped cream. We had dinner with our best friends and MIL, who was in town. Of course, he enjoyed it. I can't imagine we will do anything larger this year. I don't...

Last year we did it in our town's community center. Its just a little building with a kitchen and some long tables so it worked out perfect for the 40 or so guests we had. This year I'm probably doing the same thing, though not sure because hopefully we will be in a house by then (cross your fingers for me!) but we're decorating in Sesame Street. I always like to figure out what I'm decorating in super early because that...
