O Christmas Tree!

We're saving the hassle errrr pure bliss of going to the Christmas tree farm to find the perfect tree for when Adam is a little older and can enjoy this Christmas memory.   So for now Tom went to Home Depot to pick out our tree while Adam and I prepped things at home.

Last year Adam was enthralled by the lights, and the only thing that has changed this year is that he is mobile and able to explore them independently.  He "helped" check all of our lights by dragging them all around the apartment for about 30 minutes.

I was worried about what he would do with the ornaments, so I tried to put soft/non-breakable ones near the bottom of the tree.  He focused in on 2-3 main ornaments that he constantly took off and "tried" to put back on.  Eventually he broadened his horizons and didn't discriminate against any of the other ornaments :P

Every single morning the first thing he does after he wakes up is take one of us by the hand and lead us out to the tree so we can turn on the tree lights.  Then he points at the mantle and waits patiently while we turn on the garland lights on the mantle.  It's going to be a sad day when we have to take down the tree!
