Christmas Tree and Other Christmassy Fun

So anyone who follows me on Twitter will know that after more than a week of pestering my OH, we finally got our Christmas Tree last Saturday. It was a bargain aswell at only £10 for a real 7ft tree. With a little help from my friends, well the OH and Burton, the latter of which got excited at the red bead garland and baubles and thought they were new play things and got most upset when we took them off him to put on the tree, the tree was decorated on Sunday morning.

Here it is in all it’s red, white and gold glory

I went for red and white as the theme this year for Burton really, as the last two years I had more grown up colours that co- ordinated with our interior colour scheme! I added a few decorations that thought he will enjoy seeing every year from Father Christmas’s to Christmas stockings to baby penguins. As our star is gold I also added some sparkly gold baubles too.

So far Burton has been very good with the tree, as I had visions of him trying to remove the decorations and shaking the branches, but, fingers crossed, he has only really pointed at them so far! Oh and looking at his reflection in the shiny ones!

Aswell as the advent reindeers which I bought, also a set of Christmassy Russian dolls as I thought they would be of interest to Burton. He loves them! He likes to line them up and then knock them down with either his ball or Penguin! He also enjoys them being lined up and pointing to them while I count them!

He also received his first Christmas card of the season from my Dad this week, which featured a glittery penguin on the front. Well he loved it as you can see 🙂
