Today is the first of the year and we celebrated by taking down the Christmas Tree. We took down and packed up all of the Christmas decorations today. My very favorite ornaments are the family photo ones. We started collecting them in 2008. I’m contemplating trying to get the ones for 2005-2007 so that we can add them as well.
The kids decorated their Christmas trees tonight. Eva did hers on her own with some help from Allison. I helped Andrew with his. He would hold an ornament and then hand it to me and point and say, “there go!” He was proud of his work. Andrew’s tree is a bit light on actual ornaments of significance. He has a bunch of indestructible glass-like balls on the tree and a few Hallmark ones that he’d gotten so far. We get each kid a new Hallmark ornament each year to add to their trees. This year Eva got Rapunzel and Andrew got Charlie Brown with the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.
Eva announced to us that she no longer likes Toy Story. I don’t know why she no longer likes it. Getting explanations of things is like pulling teeth with her lately. I hope that she won’t be too disappointed with the Toy Story play set for Disney Infinity come Christmas morning. Because that is one of the things she’s getting, plus Woody. I know that she wants Rapunzel and Vanellope but she’ll get those once they are no longer exclusives and I can order them through the Disney Store. (Disney Credit Card points).
