Fascination with Christmas trees



We went to the mall with Papa today to get some new glasses. Alyssa was most interested in the what she saw several times throughout the mall...Christmas trees! She even got to see Santa and wanted to give her a hug. Disneyland totally prepared her for the hugging strange people dressed up in costumes. Santa gave her a small candy cane and I asked her to give it to Papa because I didn't want her to have it (she doesn't know what it is yet) and she looked at me and said, 'But Santa gave it to me!" Heavy emphasis on the 'me'. Needless to say Papa went without his candycane. We were waiting to eat at CPK and she wanted to pose in front of the Christmas tree. So excited. We told her that we were going to get a Christmas tree next week and put it in our house and decorate it and the she started firing questions at us. "Why do we get a tree?" "Where do we get the tree?" "Where are we going to get it?" "How are we going to put things on it?" "What are we going to put on it?" Oh my. A curious 3 year olds mind can definitely make you tired. :D Hopefully next weekend will answer a lot of her questions for her.
