Tonight Kylie and I added the ornaments that Nana sent us to our Christmas tree. All the ornaments were made by Nana during her various craft phases and look very pretty on the tree. In addition to these ornaments Daddy went out last night and got a tree topper that resembles an old fashioned Santa Claus and a nice red tree skirt. In addition we also got a few storage containers to help store all our new Christmas decorations and our tree. Not only have I rediscovered my fondness for old fashioned Santa’s but decorating the Christmas tree for the first time with my daughter has made me enjoy Christmas decorations again as well.

Tonight Kylie and I decorated our Christmas tree, and I have to admit this was the most fun I have had decorating a tree in a very long time. For starters I am very proud of the try I got, as this is the first year I have had a tree at my place. The tree was actually free, I got it from a local web community where people recycle things they no longer want or need. This particular tree is 6′ tall and is pre-lit with 400 multi-colored lights. The previous owners where parting with it because there cat had chewed through one of the cords for the lights, so 1/4 of the bottom lights were not working. I picked up the tree Thursday after work, and last night Melissa helped me find the break in the cord after Kylie went to bed. Once we found it I was able to repair it, now all 400 lights work. So this morning when Kylie woke up she was surprised to see a Christmas tree up in the living room. So today her and I spent some time and put all the ornaments that I currently have on the tree. I would hand Kylie an ornament and she would find a place to put it, and if need be I would lift her up to place it in a spot she couldn’t reach. We still have a lot of empty space, but Nana is going to send us some ornaments that she has made, and when we get them we will add them to the tree.
