Sunday we brought out the rest of the Christmas decorations. The kids loved seeing their old ornaments and putting them on the tree. I was busy helping and forgot to take pictures so I had them stand in front of the tree when it was done.
Valerie was not happy. But when everyone went off to do their own thing Valerie took the Santa hat and started posing on her own.
So I had the other kids hurry and stand close to her. The picture came out a little blurry, but with a little photo shopping it is usable, and at least they are happy.
Valerie did not grasp the concept of hanging the ornaments on the tree. She liked looking at them, and playing with them. 
We gave her a couple she could play with while we put the rest on the tree. When the tree was finished Valerie started looking around at everything and started undercoating the tree. The pine cones looked like balls to her and they were really fun to swing around.
She also really liked the train around the tree, but Josh was in charge of the train and he guarded it from Valerie like his life depended on it. He did not want his favorite Christmas decoration broken. Whenever she would go for it. Josh would run over to stop her.
Eventually Valerie spotted the Little People Nativity set and had a great time playing with it. It distracted her for the rest of the evening.
But the next morning she was back to the tree. I had forgotten about the rule with a Toddler in the house. All ornaments must be above the bottom two branches. 
It is a good thing I loaded the bottom two rows with lights.We are all decorated for Christmas, and can enjoy the festivities of the season.

Having a toddler in the house at Christmas is always "exciting". Good luck!
