Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

A Christmas tradition we started last year when Easton was a wee little baby is buying her a new Christmas ornament every year for her tree. I bought a little 3' tree after Thanksgiving that is pre-lit and perfect in size for her. Of course since last year was the first year and everyone was excited she received just a few more than one. A lot are Baby's 1st Christmas ones, but there a few others that are fun and cute and have nothing to do with her 1st Christmas. The idea behind buying a new Christmas ornament every year is to reflect what went on in Easton's life that year. What happened? What was she into? When I stumbled across this little guy on Hallmark's website I just knew it was the ornament for 2011. It fit Easton to a T...Ball, monkey, and books. Every time she sees an object that is round... it's a ball. She loves monkeys. Her monkey pajamas, saying mokey, and the song 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. And she is a bookworm! She loves to try to read, to be read to, to carry around books, and to bring you books.
