Decorating the Christmas Tree

I felt like we decorated our Christmas Tree so late this year.  But I just looked at the timestamp of the pictures and we apparently put it up on December 2.  Maybe it felt that way since everyone was putting their tree up before Thanksgiving!  Also, this was probably the craziest week of my life as we had a Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale that did better than we anticipated and had spent the Thanksgiving season with my family in St. George.  It pretty much did not slow down until about a day before we left for California!

Owen got bored pretty quickly and decided to shoot some hoops instead.

Cheering for himself.  He's his own #1 fan and says, "Yes!" after each shot (regardless if he makes it or not)

Now decorating, he was interested in.  Especially since he is obsessed with anything that resembles a ball (an actual ball, the letter O, fruit) and we were essentially covering the entire tree in balls.

Now that's a Charlie Brown tree if I've ever seen one.  If you have a real tree, it is acceptable to have a Charlie Brown tree. If you have a fake tree, it's just sad.  We have both.

Now I see where he gets the squint face.

As if our tree wasn't sad enough, Owen decided to do a little redecorating of his own.  He took all of the ornaments and decorations off and scattered them throughout the house.  He eventually even started dragging the tree around.  It was light and our floors are slippery enough, it was pretty easy for him.  If anyone has any great tips for how I can get him to avoid it next year, I'm all ears.  I tried for like a day to get him to leave it alone, but it went in one ear and out the other. Actually, come to think of it, I don't actually think it went in one ear.  It was basically like I never even said the words and that I didn't exist. Owen is a really good listener.
