O Christmas Tree..

This year we decided that with a very curious 21-month old that we would not put as many ornaments on our tree as we normally do. We placed very few ornaments within Ryan's reach and all of them that he could reach are non-breakable ones. Ryan loves our tree. He loves helping me turn on the lights every morning by saying "ready, set, go and then tada". He also loves pointing out different parts of the tree.

Here are a few of our favorites that we talk about every day...

Santa -- he says "Ho, ho" (according to Ryan)

Texas...

the star or "tar"

We put red, gold and green plastic balls that look like glass balls around the bottom of our tree. Ryan loves to point out the colors over and over although gold is yellow around here.

Every year growing up my parents bought us Hallmark ornaments. When we moved out on our own we received our ornament collection. Jeff and I have decided to continue that tradition for our boys.
