O' Christmas Tree








Brian and I put up the Christmas tree this weekend. It has a new spot this year, in our new rec room, as we don't quite trust Allison with the tree in the living room. Plus with Amelia's swing in the living room, we don't have the space for it. We didn't show Allison the tree until after she woke up from her nap this afternoon. She was very intrigued by it.

She was most impressed by her Cookie Monster stocking that sings and talks. She wanted Brian to play it for her all afternoon. I think she is going to drive me crazy during the day, wanting me to play it for her. Luckily Brian only played it once for her and told her that she can see it again in the morning. Maybe we can make it part of her morning routine and she won't be interested in it any other time of day (yeah, right).

Later that evening, we watched "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" by the Christmas tree. Amelia seem to notice the lights on the tree. Last year, we would lay Allison by the tree and she would stare at the lights. We will have to do the same with Amelia this year.

I have to say that the tree looks pretty nice in the rec room. Maybe we will have to leave it up a little longer this year, especially since Thanksgiving was so late this year. We could always put British flags on it and call it part of the room decor.
