After a brief delay due to Maile’s cold (she’s still got the sniffles, but doing just fine) – we decorated our Christmas tree tonight. Chris has all her ornaments going back to when she was born! She has one for each year – and they all have a story. Even though the Christmas tree isn’t a part of what I grew up with, I like the tradition – its a great way to remember the stories. I really look forward to when Maile is a bit older and Chris can tell her about her childhood as we put up the ornaments.
Here are some pictures we took as we decorated the tree…
Tell me again what we are doing tonight? Decorating a tree? Is this going to take long? Blue Monkey and I were in the middle of a pretty heated discussion when you pulled me over here...
Oh, I take that back - this looks interesting! Let me see Daddy...
Hmm ... hard to place the flavor. Smoother than plastic. Has a hint of musk - has this been in the basement for awhile?
Wait, that tasty ornament goes on the tree? Can you put it a little lower? Going to be hard for me to reach up there...
Mommy's famous - she's on one of the ornaments! She's 3 in this picture, a bit older than me, but I definitely think I look like her...
Here's the (almost) finished product - Maile's first Christmas tree! All that is left is to add a Maile ornament... coming soon!
