Christmas Tree 2011

The weekend after Thanksgiving, we went out to get our Christmas tree.  I have visions of taking Tanyon out to pick out his own tree and cutting it down some day, but I think he is still a little young to remember such things. So, we opted for the cheaper Home Depot option. Amazingly, we ended up with the first one we saw.

Tanyon's thoughts on getting a tree:
 When we got home, Tanyon loved helping with the lights.  He helped Paul spot which ones needed to be replaced.  He also liked yelling out the colors of various lights he saw. Paul also made him believe he had the power to make the strand light up.  He had Tanyon yell, "On" and Paul would simultaneously plug in the lights to the wall.  Tanyon thought it was a miracle every time.



 When Paul had to go to work, Tanyon helped me finish stringing the lights around the tree. 
We waited for later in the evening for Paul to get home to put the ornaments on the tree. We were grateful that it was kind of slow at work and he was able to come home while Tanyon was still awake.
