Following two Thanksgiving celebrations, we got our house in gear for Christmas. Luckily, Reese had a successful morning nap a few weekends ago and we were able to use the time to begin assembling our artificial tree. By the time Reese woke up, it was time for primping the tree, lights, garland, and ornaments.
The look on Reese's face when she saw the tree in our living room was priceless. She ran over to it and started her "happy walk"--which is more like a quick march in place that occurs only when she's absolutely overwhelmed with excitement. She started pointing and immediately wanted to help with all the tree activities. We gave her a small portion of the tree to decorate with unbreakable ornaments. She loved putting the ornaments on and taking them off repeatedly. (And still does daily.) To our surprise, she's been very careful with the glass ornaments and knows not to touch them or move them around.
*I know this is a short entry, so stay tuned for stories and pictures from our visit with Santa, as well as video of her new amazing squeaky shoes.
