Decorating the Tree

Since we just moved into our new house, it has been a little hard to figure out where all of our boxes of Christmas stuff are. As a result, I have yet to find our good stockings or all of our ornaments. Fortunately, we decided to go toddler safe this year and bought a box of shatter proof ornaments. Our plan is to use these for the next few years to avoid running the risk of breaking sentimental ornaments.

We finally got our tree decorated on Sunday afternoon and it looks great! Quin had a lot of fun helping and did a great job. He quickly figured out how to get the ornaments to stay on the tree, although he also discovered that they are fun to pull off. The only downside to a tiny (3 feet tall) human decorating the tree is that things tend to get clustered in the small radius he can reach. I helped him out a bit and lifted him up to reach taller branches. Seeing as this was the first time that we could decorate as a family, it was something that I will always remember.
