Christmas Tree

Since John and I have been married we have always put up our Christmas Tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving, well, because of the flu it had to wait until Tuesday after Thanksgiving, but we got it up and have been enjoying it. Nicholas helped John get it together while Addison, Vincent, and I sorted the ornaments into piles of who they belong too. As with tradition also starting with the youngest every one puts up their "Baby's 1st Christmas" Ornament one at a time while I take pictures. For those who know my daughter well know that she loves her baby dolls and usually has one or two in tow with her. Her 1st ornament just happened to be a baby in a cradle and she kept rocking it saying "Oh baby." When we had the lights on and were ready to start decorating she went first and with her dads help went up to the tree to put on the ornament. Unfortunately she had no intention of parting with it or it going on the tree so when her dad got it from her hands and put it on the tree she fell to the floor and cried for her baby. Trauma was not what we were going for so we gave it back and she sat on the floor and cradled her baby the rest of the time the boys decorated the tree. When she finally put it down (for a cookie), John picked it up and put it high on the tree. So far she has not seen it, as we have had no more tears for it.
