We got our tree all set up yesterday. It's gorgeous! Well, the tree is gorgeous, and I did the best job I could decorating it. All the ornaments are Disney, which couldn't please the munchkin more. She's dazzled by the lights and this morning spent quite a bit of time pointing out all the 'dog' ornaments and all the 'Mickey' ornaments. One thing she's a bit confused on though is the presents under the tree. We decided to go ahead and put the wrapped presents we have under the tree and work with her on the whole 'not touching only looking' ordeal. She's been pretty good about it, but she thinks the presents are all wrapped boxes of SHOES! So ~all~ morning long I had to listen to her try to explain to me that shoes shouldn't be wrapped, but instead should be allowed to be opened up by her and worn.
"Honey, I promise you that they aren't shoes...I PROMISE! Trust Mommy!"
What I eventually had to do was get one of her real shoe boxes from the closet and let her play with it. I showed her how she could put some of her small toys in it and play. That indeed worked, but as I went to get her down for her nap, I noticed she had carefully placed her shoebox full of little toys under the tree next to the other boxes. As much of a stinker as she is, she sure is cute.
Decorating the tree took me quite a bit of time and it was a bit akward being on the ladder in all my roly poly glory, but I did it! What I love the most is the magical snowflake I put on the tree...I can turn the tree lights on and off with one quick touch of it!

The magic of Christmas is so special in the eyes of a child. She is utterly precious.
Your tree is so pretty... makes me wanna go ahead & decorate.
M~
Wow. Stunning.
Sniff, sniff, tear! I'm so jealous! I can't decorate yet and will not be fully able to decorate at all this year. I will get my tree up, even if it's only for a week. We are building and our new house will be ready any time now. It's driving me crazy! UGH! Your tree is very pretty.
