I was so excited to decorate for Christmas this year because I thought Caylee might have fun playing with all the "new" things. She didn't even care! I pulled out tons of ornaments that she was allowed to play with and stockings and such, but she just went back to playing with her normal toys. As a few days have gone by she is more interested in the tree and we have some lower ornaments specifically for her to take on and off that she is starting to notice. But the entire time we put the tree up, nothing... she just walked around and laughed and played with her things! It is a HUGE tree too! This is the first year we've put it up bc we have never had the room... well, we don't quite have the room this year, but we made it work and I love it! Matt did some lights on the outside of the house too. The mantle is the only thing I can't figure out.... it's so deep and really needs a lot of "stuff" that we don't have. I may take a trip to Hobby Lobby soon.... or just leave it alone, who knows. For now, here's what I have :)
Watching Daddy hang lights... it was SUPER cold, so she has on her new coveralls, snow coat and awesome hat!
Finished!
She didn't like the tree much, but LOVED the step ladder... and yes, the top of the tree hits the ceiling... no angel this year. But the angel is very special, so it IS sitting on the mantle!
Wouldn't smile...
Finally smiled, but had taken the bow out! Bummer...
Completed house... he didn't go all the way to the top, but we had nothing to reach up there, plus it was SOO cold! Very pretty though!
I'll get more family pics in front of the tree and house later....
I am so excited for this Christmas! I know she's young, but we have a full advent calendar complete with short verses each day to read and activities I came up with (more on all that later). It's going to be a great month!!
