Christmas Tree

I am a little bit of a nut about Christmas. I would probably decorate at the beginning of November if Jeremy would let me. This year was the first year Nick was really able to "help" with the tree. We had so much fun. Jeremy's parents each gave him an ornament or two every year of his life so between those and my ornaments from childhood we had a great starting point for our tree when we first got together. Since then we exchange ornaments with each other, our kids, and his parents each year. Most of our ornaments are Hallmark so the box of them looked like a giant box of toys for Nick. He had the best time bringing me and Jeremy the boxes and saying "Open it, PEEEASE!" Once the box was open he would exclaim what it was, "mouse, dog, house, book, etc." Surprisingly he knows what most of them are. Some of the funnier descriptions are that he calls all the Santa ornaments "Sam" reindeer ornaments are "MOOSE" and any of the ornaments that have fake ice/igloos with eskimos, penguins etc. He call "Ice people."
