Deck the Halls!

Thanksgiving weekend we pulled the tree and ornaments out of the basement and got to work.  Nolan loved "helping" this year and has been pretty good about not touching the tree once it was complete.  

At first he would walk up to the tree, point at an ornament, say "ball" and try to hit it.  Eric put the "Elf on the Shelf" elf up on the window sill to watch the tree (and Nolan) and ever since Nolan now goes up to the tree, looks at the elf and says, "no no" and doesn't touch it.  In fact, every single Christmas tree he encounters he says, "no no" with his finger in the air because he isn't supposed to touch.

  Goofball.  

He also really likes to help turn the tree on.  There is a button you step on underneath the tree skirt.  Nolan will walk over with you, stomp on the skirt (in the complete wrong spot) and get really excited when it turns on.

Getting excited about what is in all of the boxes!

Hanging an ornament...

...and by hanging I mean placing the ornament on top of a branch.

This is fuzzy but he was so proud of his tree.
