before the tree comes down

One last Christmas post before the tree comes down. I am so sad to take the tree down this year. It has been the highlight of Sophia's first Christmas. She doesn't understand presents or the real reason for the season yet but she does get that there is a super awesome, beautiful tree in her living room and she loves it. As in L.O.V.E.S. it. Every time we walk into the living room she points to the tree and goes "ah ah ah" or some other babble. Which we can only assume means "look mom! there's a beautiful tree in our living room!" If you ask her where the Christmas tree is she will point to it right away. It is so wonderful to see the tree through Sophia's eyes. What a magical thing to be seeing one for the first time ever.
