Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!

How tempting are your branches!

Our tradition has been to put the tree up on Thanksgiving day but, this year , my Grandma will be visiting us for Thanksgiving and we wanted her to see the house decorated. So we put up our tree on the 24th. Mackenzie has done really well with the " No touch, just look" policy although the first day she broke the policy and found herself in time out where she said over and over again " I'm sorry! No touch! Christree" .

First things first: Mike had to hunt out the " bad bulb" on our prelit tree!

After an hour of looking, a bit of sweat and a quick trip to the store for a replacement bulb, Mike had the tree ready for decorating:
We did most of the decorating while Mackenzie napped but left a few of the ornaments that were specifically for her out. Here's a picture of her getting her first glimpse of the "Christree" . She was excited, can you tell?

So hard not to touch!
