Tree & Tanta

Last Christmas Lyla was entranced with Christmas trees and this year was no different, with the exception of L being more hands-on. We were lucky, she only pulled it over on top of herself once! I was afraid she would think it was called a "no no" and not a tree. But she got the hang of looking and not touching. She would just sit or lay under the tree "ooohhh" ing.

We had to go with a smaller tree and limited decor this year since everything is in Chattanooga storage. It turned out pretty cute and I figure I can use it in Lyla's playroom with her handmade decorations in the future.

We also made the mandatory mall trip to see Santa Claus. Lyla loves "Tanta", from a distance, we learned. We waited in a very long line and she talked about him the whole time and how he says "ho ho" but when it was show time she froze. I ended up having to sit with Santa and Lyla to get a shot. Then, of course, their camera was messed up so we had to go again. Not her best picture but I know it is one we will laugh at later.
