Christmas Tree

One of the first things we did in our new house was set up our Christmas tree.  It was fun to put up the tree and hang ornaments and candy canes all together as a family.  It was great having Drew home to help decorate and it was fun having Alden try and help even though he couldn't hang ornaments on the tree by himself.  Alden would run back and forth between the box of ornaments and the tree, handing ornaments to me or Drew.

This was the tree after we finished decorating it.  It was one of the first things in our house since we still hadn't got most of our furniture.

One of Alden's favorite things from decorating the tree was that he got his first candy cane.  We put some candy canes on the tree and Drew sat down to eat one after we finished decorating the tree.  Alden decided he wanted some of it and once he got his first taste of the candy cane he wouldn't let anybody else eat it.  He chowed down on the whole thing and then proceeded to run around in circles because he had so much energy.

Alden loved his candy cane!

Alden had so much fun running around after eating his candy cane.  I have a video of it that I will post as soon as I find it. =)
