After much debate about Christmas trees and if a 13 month old could be controlled around one, we plowed forward with our (my) favorite shopping trip of the year....to Home Depot for our tree. Syd, dressed in an adorable snowman outfit, wandered around and was in awe of the chainsaw the men were using to cut the bottoms off of the tree.
Once home it was lunch time, which what that really means is we lucked out that she was strapped to her chair for 30 minutes while we got the tree up without the interruption of small fingers and grabby hands.
We went with a much smaller tree in hopes the branches would not be hit by passing dogs and babe and so far it is working out perfectly. I love the process of hanging each ornament and remembering the trip, vacation, person and dog that it represents. Each year it is a new surprise and I love it.
I can't wait until Syd is big enough to have the anticipation of Christmas like I do!
