Putting Up the Christmas Tree

Before we left for Thanksgiving, we got all of our Christmas decorations out. Hadley & I put up the Christmas tree and lights while Brent was out of town. We waited for him to put the ornaments on the tree. Hadley had a great time. She enjoyed seeing all the ornaments up close before we put them on the tree. She even got to decide where some of them should go. As I had hoped, she has been really great about leaving the decorations alone. By letting her help in the beginning, I think it took away a lot of investigating later. I had forgotten how special putting up the tree can be.
