I was really excited to go get a Christmas tree this year. We didn't do one last year so this was the first year Keely got to really be a part of this. She helped us pick out a tree at the lot and as Daniel drug it to the car (it was a cut your own lot), she asked if he was going to walk home. Once home she went down for her nap and we put up lights. I'll post video eventually of her coming out and seeing all of the "decorations". She was so overwhelmed she couldn't stop moving and pointing and being excited.
Then we decorated the tree. We decided to let her put on the little balls we have while I put on the rest. Daniel kept offering to pick her up so that she could put the balls in different places. But if you've met Keely you KNOW how stubborn she is. She wanted to decorate the tree her own way...
So our tree has a ring around the front half...right at Keely's height of about 20 of these little balls. She wanted them as close together as possible. I haven't had the heart to spread them out because she checks on them and "tweaks" it each time she passes by. Besides, at least you can tell our two year old really did help.!
