picking out ornaments

Edith and I have a tradition, the first year we got married we bought our Christmas tree the first Saturday of November. Ever since we have done our best to start decorating around that time each year. Last year was obviously difficult, Jonathan was just a month old, Edith was still recovering, and I was learning how to be a daddy. This year we are making up for it.

We started decorating this past weekend, the tree is up with all the ornaments, my Simpsons Christmas Train, 16 pieces as of now, is on display along with other nice Christmas items we have collected over the years, Jonathan even has a couple Sesame Street stockings hanging around the house. Still to come are the outside lights, but those can wait till Thanksgiving time.

Jonathan had lots of fun with the plastic ball ornaments, kid friendly! He did his best to put them on the tree, he would put his hand out and act like he was going to put it on, then quickly snatch it back, not to sure about this tree thing..
