Anthony spent all year talking about how he yelled "Timber" when Daddy cut down the tree last Christmas. I figured with memories like that, he'd be disappointed to buy from a Christmas tree lot, so we headed off to Patchen Christmas Tree Farm this afternoon. We got a perfect little Douglas Fir. Amazingly, its just the right height to fit in our living room. I let Anthony pick out a wreath for our front door, too.
When it came time to decorate, I found that the difference between 3 and 4 was stunning. Last year he was destructive. This year he was VERY enthusiastic about hanging the ornaments on the tree. He had a hard time sticking to the non-breakable ornaments, but he treated all of them with respect, so it was okay. Loved his enthusiasm.
(In case anyone is curious, it was a 4 candy cane day.)
