Emily found another use for the tree shirt :-)
Monday night we got the tree up and decorated. We had a really good time with Emily this year. She is really excited about Christmas this year. She wanted to know about all the ornaments. She remembered a few form last year and could not wait to put the topper on the tree. Abby was watching from her highchair and could not wait to see what it was all about. When Emily was as little as Abby is she touched the tree once and did not like it. After that she really did not want anything to do with it. Abby on the other hand is all about the tree. She is taking the ornaments off and grabs branches and shakes them.
We also started a new tradition this year. Meme got us an Elf on the Shelf. If you don't know what that is. He is Santa's special helper that sits somewhere in the house by day and reports to Santa at night. When he returns he is in a different location. Emily is really enjoying looking for him every morning. He comes with a story book that explains the tradition to the kids and you have to name him and write tit in the book. Our Elf is named Eddie the Elf.
