My Favorite Christmas Thing of 2010.

Since we got our tree earlier this month, every morning when Cece & I get up (ok, sometimes she gets up way before me with her dad, on those days when I finally drag out of bed) she runs to the tree and points:

"Tee! Tee!"

It took me a while, but I eventually realized she wanted me to turn on the lights. Most mornings she gets up around 5:30 so it's usually very dark still. I turn on the lights and she gets the biggest grin ever. Sometimes she points to the lights (ee-iigh's), sometimes she steals an ornament. Sometimes she just eats a banana & sits on my lap. I like that part the best. Anyway, for a few minutes every morning, before we turn to climbing and running and chasing for the day we have a snuggle & look at the Tee. I know next year will probably bring a new routine, so I'm enjoying every day I get of this one.

Tree

We hitched up the old front-wheel drive sleigh today, for a drive out into the country* to select a tree. *by country, I mean city, as in a tree lot about a mile from home.

Cece clearly hated it, but none the less she was willing to run about, checking out the trees on offer.

Final decision time came, and she was seriously considering the final contenders.

We did end up picking one out, and it's currently standing in the corner of the room, awaiting lights and decorations. Beastie is checking it out, making sure we made the right choice:
