We are notorious for getting our Christmas tree on Dec. 23 but this year it is up a whole month early! With Lilly around, we just couldn't help it. The Christmas decorations came down from the attic the day before Thanksgiving and they got put up on Friday. We went to the Farmers Market and Lilly thought she was in the woods. She would run in between all the trees and then command you to join her "in the woods."
I don't think there will be any ornaments on the tree this year. Lilly tried to pull the tree down as soon as it was up and the three cats have already been running around it, it looks as if the tree will be bare this season. Or until we get some non-breakable ornaments.
When we asked Lilly to stand in front of the tree, she quickly said "No." This is all we could capture with her near the tree - naked and running away from getting into the bath:
It might also seem like Christmas because one of Lilly's presents has been sitting in the living room and now the hallway for six days - waiting to be put together. She knows it is a present for her but other than trying to eat the Styrofoam, she has left it alone. Also we were treated to a new washer and dryer this weekend.
Our old washer kicked a couple of weeks and we were waiting for repairs to happen this week when we discovered the dryer was acting up (it actually had scorch marks on the back and had melted the items that were sitting on top of it) so we decided to forget the repairs and get a new set. Merry Christmas to Mommy! It's amazing how excited you get when you can actually do laundry in your own house without having to hand wash your toddler's clothes in the kitchen sink because taking her to the laundromat by yourself will not work (we tried tag-teaming with her last weekend and it did not last very long before we all were frustrated!)We have been listening to Christmas music and we noticed that "The Christmas Story" is playing on television today so we feel like we are definitely in the Christmas spirit!
