We picked out our Christmas tree the Monday after Thanksgiving. It's the first time Piper has ever had a real tree at home. Our first year in Ohio we borrowed our landlord's four-foot artificial tree so that's doesn't really count. Piper just went crazy at the Christmas tree lot. The lot even delivered and positioned it in the house. How nice! It's the first tree we've had (this is our fourth, if you count that fake one) with a true tree topper. We're all grown up.
The next day Piper and I decorated the tree while Simon napped. I made sure to get some new extra ornaments that Piper could put on the lower half of the tree that Simon could remove/mangle without injury. She did an awesome job decorating. Her favorites were all of the ones with our pictures on them. We have quite the collection of personalized ornaments. Surprisingly Simon has been really good with the tree so far. He's only removed a few ornaments and he doesn't really seem to notice it any more.
I still need to take a picture of the full tree and our house decorations. That'll have to be another post. My mom came and did some wonderful Christmas crafts with Piper. I'll feature those later too.

The tree people delivered and set up your tree? That's the first time I've heard of that kind of service. Pretty cool, if you ask me.
