We are not going to be home the weekend after Thanksgiving, so we decided to put our tree up a little early this year. I pulled everything down from the attic with the help of my ever patient husband and we proceeded to put the tree together. Last year we had a very nice 9 foot tree, but this year that tree will be set up at my parents' house for their holiday party (we are doing that tomorrow afternoon). So we are stuck with the very sad looking 7 foot tree I got on discount after Christmas the year before last.
I get the feeling that they celebrated Christmas in China in the orphanage because Saiya knew exactly what it was and what you were supposed to do with it. She even pointed out that it didnt look like the tree in the picture because it didnt have any presents under it. Clever girl... She helped decorate it and insisted on clumping the ornaments together on the same two branches. Not sure why kids do that, but my niece and nephew did the same thing last year. Its almost like they claim part of the tree and its a race to see who can cram the most ornaments into their section.
After a bit of rearranging, we now have a lovely tree sitting in the living room! Saiya put the star on top (of course!) and she even hung her stocking up over the fireplace.
I can't believe we have had her for almost three months. Wow! How time flies!
