Today, we decorated our (borrowed) Christmas tree with homemade ornaments.
Eleanor enjoyed making the ornaments very much.
She's very into glitter so I decided we'd decorate some balls for our tree. She got to decide what would go on each ball, which explains why we now have a ball on our tree that says, "Elmo." You gotta love Christmas with a two-year-old. I will say, though, that I must be doing something right because she wanted to make one that said "Jesus" and then told me to 'write Happy Birthday on it now.'
D is for "Daddy." :(
Then, it was time to put them on the tree. She kept saying, 'Mommy, first we put a screw on it, then put it on da tree.' Not sure why she couldn't retain the word "hook."
I tried bribing her with a lollipop to take a picture in front of the tree with me. So, I got about 20 pictures of her licking a lollipop. Nice.

this is such a sweet post--you're such an awesome MOM for making her christmas special, even if you dont feel so cheery. She will remember decorating her own ornaments, and yall should keep them forever. you'll look back each year as you're putting these ornaments on and always remember this christmas, for better or for worse :) But you're making it memorable for her, and that's so cool. No room for scrooge with that awesome tree!! :) And the little "D" ornament is so cute. Awesome job, megan.
