O Christmas Tree

We had a day if FIRST on Thursday! We started our day of going to purchase some things to decorate our tree. Then we went to a girls basketball game at SVU! After every basketball game Trae knows he can go onto the floor and do SHOT! He loves it when people lift him up and he throws the ball but no one is ever tall enough that he ever makes it. Until the other day a kid on the JV team who is 6'8" held him up the the rim and he "MADE IT" (as Trae says) He had the biggest smile on his face. I had never seen him so excited. Everyone that was around was cheering and he thought he was amazing! He is!! The whole time I was just wishing that I had my camera! The one time I don't.
After the game we went to Lowes to get a Christmas Tree! I did run by the house to grab my cmaera! The whole way to Lowes he kept telling us that we were going to get a tree. At the store when we were jsut looking around he thought it was so cool to see the huge blow up figures! They even had one of Hot Dog (aka Mickey Mouse long story) and he had to tell everyone about it in the store. We then made our way outside and he just wanted a little tree then we showed him a big one and he said "Wow Tall" When we got home he realized that the tree was on top of our car and that was "cool" It just made his day to have a tree!
We now have our tree decorated 4 days later! But I think this had been the best year for me to decorate a tree! I have been given a ornament every year from my mom as long as I can remember So throughout the years I have just saved them in a box. Well I pulled it out today and let Trae unpack each one. He loved it! I have such a wide variety from really girlie ones to just fun ones for all! He kept all his favorites very low on the tree and the other I could u a little higher, but needless to say there aren't too many higher up on my tree. It would normally bug me but Trae loves to walk in the room now and he says WOW and then goes and look at all the ornaments so they will stay put. My house is starting to look alot like Chirstmas. So maybe it will start to feel like it as well! I'm very glad I decided to decorate.
Here are a few videos that I took!
