Christmas Tree All Done

Here is a picture of Nick's Christmas tree. Mommy took this picture for Nick so he could remember, because this is the weekend when the tree is all done.

Nick made a December calendar at school. It shows the happy day when we brought the tree home.

And the January calendar shows the day the tree is all done. Mommy has been showing Nick the calendar all week.

Today daddy took Nick to the Rec Center pool, and when they were done they drove around town. Daddy showed Nick that all the houses say goodbye to their tree.

When Nick came home he was sad but he did not cry. He looked at the calendar and he asked for "December" and "presents." Then Nick took a pen and paper and wrote out all the months of the year. Mommy reminded Nick that in the summer he has a pool, and that in December we will have a new tree.

Just like last year, mommy gave Nick a little tree on the table. At first Nick did not want to decorate it, but before he went to bed he put all the tiny ornaments on his little tree.

Goodbye Christmas Tree - we will miss you!

Nick's Christmas Tree

Today is Sunday, December 19. Mommy showed Nick the calendar, and we saw the words Get Christmas Tree! Nick has been waiting for weeks and weeks and now the day is finally here!

After breakfast McKenzie came over and we all went to The Dees Nursery. We looked at lights and ornaments and then we went to see the rows and rows of trees. Nick helped pick out a tree, and he even tried to pick it up himself.


Then we came home and Nick helped carry the tree into the house.

Nick helped stand up the tree and then he cut off the string. The tree popped open and we could see all the branches.

Then we put on the lights and Nick helped decorate. We have so many ornaments in the boxes, and it's a good thing because the tree was so big.

Now the tree is decorated and beautiful. After dinner mommy came into the room and Nick was sitting in a chair looking at the tree. Mommy sat down with Nick and we looked at the tree together.

Merry Christmas Nick!
