December first saw our lovely tree ascend in the living room. December second it became adorned with little lights and lovingly made, given or bought ornaments. Today we're enjoying it.
Madeleine helped decorated. We have one branch that is very well decorated and then I helped her space the others out a bit. She was really sweet looking at the ornaments and getting excited about them. It's nice that Phil and I have collected ornaments over the years and we even have several from his childhood. So many of them have special meaning for us. I remember how much fun it was for me to go through the ornaments when I was little. So we made sure to let Madeleine enjoy the process even though it meant one fragile little sled got broken. Thankfully, we had several.
Lilian was less than thrilled this morning when she saw the tree in all it's glory. She did roll underneath it, tried to grab a branch and sucked on a stocking for awhile.
