Trimming the tree

After years of practice, Regan is becoming a professional at helping me decorate our Christmas tree. Last year, there were a few ornaments broken; this year, we made it to the very last ornament before she dropped it on the hardwood and it broke. Poor girl, she really felt horribly. I don't make it easy seeing as though we only use German glass ornaments on our tree, I can't give her the "non breakables" because there are none!
Sidney planted herself right in front of the tree to play as Regan and I tried to decorate. So not only did we have to be careful not to drop an ornament, we had to be extra careful not to trip over the pint-sized 2 year old who was oblivious about where she was playing!
The end result!
It was simply adorable to listen as they chatted about the tree and Regan gushed over her work. She spotted the pickle hidden deep in the thick of the tree and pointed it out to daddy as soon as he got home tonight.
Regan has her very own tree as well; she decorated this one entirely on her own and keeps it lit in her room as she drifts to sleep.
Welcome Christmas season!
