Slappy Decorates The Tree

So far, only the lights have been up on the tree. Maddie had seen trees decorated at the library, so she had some idea of what to do when she was handed a container full of plastic balls. First, take each ball out, and jargon excitedly.
Next, show Dad where to put the each ball since they don't seem to stay there when you place them in the tree.
Finally, supervise Dad's placement, making sure none get above the height you can pat-pat them. Please note, the rest of the day, the tree remained dressed from about 2'-9" and below.
With cool ornaments like these Maddie and Max ones from Taisie.
As we went through the different boxes full of presents from family and friends, Maddie was also allowed to open one Christmas gift from Kears and Todd (it's hard to be almost 2 and wait until this "Christmas" thing). Meant for Max, she made sure all the puzzle pieces were working. They were.
After the kids went to bed, Sam and Jess finished decorating the tree, and as the lights went out for bed, it really began to feel like Christmas in LA.

Somehow the tree got dressed up to it's top--and it's beautiful. Merry Christmas!
