Finally with less then a week until Christmas, some Christmas Spirit finally arrived at our house, and our decorations are up. Not wanting to constantly be moving things out of Avery's reach or telling him not to touch I decided to just do the tree and stocking and skip some of the other things I usually set out. Because it took me so long to actually get the task to putting up the tree I debated several time of not putting the tree up at all, Avery wouldn’t remember if there was a tree his first Christmas or not, Right? But I just couldn’t not have a tree for his first Christmas. So after rearranging all the furniture in the living room three times (then ending up with everything back where it started, except 1 book case) I put the tree up and decorated it. I left off a lot of ornaments this year deciding that they were either too small or too breakable, and stuck to a theme of soft, safe ornaments.

| Our Tree |
Both grandparents have had their trees up and decorated for some time now and Avery leaves those alone for the most part (except for the ornaments he has been approved to play with) but between Avery and Diesel I will always keep one eye peeled I incase one decides to play with the tree or any of the fun bobbles hanging from it.

| Oh look toys on a tree... |
Once the tree was up and decorated I finished off my holiday decorating by hanging our stockings.

| Avery's Stocking |
Avery’s stocking was an early Christmas gift made by my talented aunt, who also made Jon, and my stockings for our first Christmas, along with our tree skirt. I am very excited to share the excitement of Christmas with Avery, even if he won’t totally get the concept for a few more years.
