Sunny helped me put the Christmas tree up this year.
This is a big deal, we had to replace our giant Myers Christmas tree with a cheap little Kmart one because it was too dangerous to have such a large heavy tree that Sunny could pull down onto himself.
The first few years of Christmas as every parent knows are a mix of, keeping your child excited about the Christmas decorations and Christmas and also stopping them from pulling all the decorations off and pulling the tree down on themselves.
I’m kind of feeling confident that next year we can go back to a larger thicker fuller heavier tree without worrying about him pushing it over or pulling it down on himself maybe?
This little Kmart tree with a mix of non breakable decorations, cute little squishmellows and lots of candy land Inspired decorations that are inexpensive and simple but they are helping to create childhood memories for little boys who love Christmas. It’s not an aesthetically pleasing or interior design worthy tree. But Sunny loves it and he even brought my camera to me, (which was terrifying as he could of dropped my camera)and then ran in front of the Christmas tree and waited for me to take a photo of him. He’s never done that before and that was actually really exciting that he wanted a photo with his tree.
