Deck the Halls!

Well...that part was Nana's job!  Aidan helped decorate the Christmas tree today!  Naturally, all the shiny baubles and balls were placed on the lower two feet of the tree!  (Fear not...the Christmas Fairy will weave her magic in the night!)

Aidan's Christmas Tree

The most fun...for Nana at least...was decorating Aidan's own little tree.  Once the lights, tinsel and garland were in place, Aidan placed the decoration on his very own tree.  And each decoration is special...there are 'grandson' baubles, five in all, purchased each year since he was born (his momma has thirty-four, and counting!)  There are handmade felt decorations I made for his momma when she was a little girl...there are decorations passed down from both his great-great Nana, and his great-grandma.  The tree is topped with a mother-of-pearl 'star' which came from Bethlehem, a gift from a friend many years ago.

It's a lovely tree, filled with little charms, all with special memories.  But the best memories are our time spent together, Nana and Aidan, placing all the decorations on a very special little tree.
