Last weekend, we brought the tree inside and started decorating. This is the first year that Jonah’s been really interested in hanging ornaments himself, so that was fun.
He had to concentrate really hard on picking the right spot and getting the hooks around the branch.
Also, it is really hard to decorate a tree with a one-year-old around who wants to suck on lights and eat glittery ornaments. Poor Nora soon had to hang out in the pack-n-play with her Christmas books.
And she wasn’t really this upset, but the picture cracks me up because I caught her right in the middle of making one of her crazy noises, so it looks like she reeeeaallly wants to get out. :)
After most of the decorating was done, Nora got to come out and have some supervised visiting with the ornaments. Luckily, a week later, some of the novelty has worn off and she can be in the living room without eating the tree. Most of the time.
And I always wish Christmas tree pictures came out better, but here’s a blurry view of Nora happily enjoying all the lights. :)
