Our 2011 Christmas season was doubly as special. Not only was Brianna a lot more interactive this year as compared to last - she did also turn two(!), but we had Carl to join the fun too.
We thought is would be fun to have a real tree this year, so Jon went out one afternoon during nap time to get one. When he got back, Brianna was extremely excited to help with the tree, that and it was snowing so she wanted to touch the snow. Here they are checking out the first set of lights we put on. We switched them out for white ones not long after these pictures!
I took her outside with me while I shoveled the deck off from the recent snowfall (which as we know all melted before Christmas). Since I didn't let her help shovel, she insisted on eating the snow. She stood there a long time before we could go inside again.
After we got undressed from our snow gear we took another glimpse at the tree before bed. She was in awe! All she wanted to do was "shake hands" with the branches. She was very gentle. We can't always say the same for Eko, although he did very well this year. Only got a few branches...
