Toy Tree

It took us a while to get around to decorating our Christmas tree this year. After waiting patiently for several days, Joy decided to take matters into her own hands.

She started by adding a few balls . . .

. . . then before we knew it the tree was sporting plastic food, magnets, a few Nativity figures, and some Play-doh. I was tempted to leave the toy tree as it was for the rest of December, just for fun, but Phillip insisted we go the more traditional route.

Once we opened the ornament boxes and showed Joy the cool stuff we could put up instead of her toys, she was more than happy to help us remove the first round of decorations and get to work on the second wave.

Ah . . . much better.

I probably would have been tempted to leave the toy tree the way it was too. :)

We also got a tree this year! Apparently, it was a good thing we got it early too because they ran out! The dangers of living on an island, I suppose. It got so bad that some people were paying over $200.

Ah the joys of trying to obtain the traditional sacred tree!

Yours looks very nice, by the by. :)

I have to admit that I really like the decorating job Joy did. It sure does beat the crazy elaborate trees you see in the malls, doesn't it? Merry Christmas!!
