Decorating the Christmas Tree

This year we decided (for two reasons) to put up our Christmas tree a little earlier than we normally do. For one, we have a really busy December planned and so this was the best weekend for it; and two, we are really excited to start the holiday season with Evan and see the holidays through his eyes. On Saturday when we got home from RI, we immediately went to buy a tree. It was as cold as it has been all season so we were all bundled up to stay warm. Evan fell asleep in the car on the way there and slept through the choosing of the tree. But boy did he look cute doing so! We let the tree lay out for a day or two and decorated tonight. When the tree was bare, Evan wasn’t sure what to think and in fact I think he was a little scared of it. Once the lights were on, he warmed up to it a little bit and once the ornaments were on, he really liked it. Bruce and I have quite a few ornaments from our childhood (a tradition we are planning to start with Evan too) which is nice because he can play with many of the ornaments. Can’t wait to see what he thinks of the wrapped presents!
