trim the tree




today was the day....we got our christmas tree! and although this was greta's second christmas, she was definitely more involved in the process than last year. she kept saying, "tree, tree" while we were picking it out. she thought it was pretty funny that we had a tree in the car and she kept pointing and laughing while joe carried the tree in. we were curious how it was going to go to have a one year old under foot while setting the tree up, but she sort of just went about her regular business at first. she would come over occasionally to feel the branches or point at the lights. and she was very interested in the bin of ornaments. i'm curious how she'll be with the tree tomorrow. before she went to bed tonight, she tried to chew on both an ornament and a branch. but we'll chalk that up to teething.


here's greta, helping her papa get the tree all set up.










then greta decided that mommy and papa could do all the hard work while she read a few christmas books to get in the holiday spirit.











here's greta, hanging her first ornament on the tree. well...we hung it together and then she got mad and i took it back off so that she could carry it around the house.

This is exactly why I'm waiting to put up the tree, because I will have three sets of hands constantly touching it!

These pictures are great! They made me sort of misty eyed actually (is that wierd?)

Hope all is well.

Love, Katie
