Christmas Tree Time!
Posted By pamelamyers on December 14, 2010
This weekend we had fun picking out and decorating our Christmas tree. Last year we brought Sam, of course, but she was so little I actually think she was asleep through the whole process. This year, she was much more aware of what was going on. She was a little like a deer in headlights — I don’t think she knew quite where we had taken her. But eventually she got the idea and she enjoyed helping to pick out the tree. There was only one tree she started babbling about, so that is the one that came home. It’s a good thing it was a pretty one. Here are some pictures.
Sam was giving the tree a good look to make sure it was lush, straight, and had fresh needles!
The next day, after we let the tree settle a bit, we decorated — the best part! Sam was adorable. She got SO excited when I opened the box of ornaments. She had no idea what was in there, but as soon as she could get her hands in, she started pulling everything out! I had a hard time keeping up with her. She was throwing things on the floor so fast, and it was all I could do to keep up with her little hands to make sure she didn’t throw anything breakable.
So far, she has been pretty good with the tree. No yanking off of ornaments, but to be safe, only non-breakable ones are within her reach. We have had a lot of practice over the years with the cats so we know how to decorate a tree to keep everything safe!
Mark and I start our Christmas vacation after this week is done and we are so excited to have 2 whole weeks off with Sam. We’ll be posting pics of the decorated tree (and us!) very soon!
