O, Christmas Tree

We finally have the tree up and decorated. We had to do it in stages this year. First came picking out the tree at Lowes (they seem to have the best trees), then it sat for a couple days in some water. We got it in the tree stand one night, then lights the next night. Last night we finally got it decorated with all the ornaments. It is a nice looking tree, not nearly as big as some we have had in the past. But then again, we don't exactly have the time to decorate a big tree like we used to have BG (before Gavin).

Gavin loves looking at the lights on the tree. He just gazes in amazement. We sat him down next to the tree tonight for some playtime. He discovered that the ornaments can also function as toys.

I don't think that he was too happy that an ornament toy got taken away from him. Incidentially, Gavin has hit a bit of a tantrum phase when something gets taken away from him that is "his". He gets really mad until you divert his attention to something else. We are hoping that the tantrums subside eventually.
