Our Magic Christmas Tree

The girls had a blast decorating our Christmas tree Monday evening. Kianna seemed to have an affinity for putting the ornaments in the same place on the tree, so of course being my anal self I had to spread them out when she hopefully wasn't looking. The best part was after the tree was up, Trevor hooked the lights to a remote control system. We let the girls take turns turning the lights on and off by simply waving their hand in the direction of the tree (much like waving a magic wand). Each time they wave their hand the tree either turns on or off. They love it!! Of course, we don't let them see us pick up the remote control so they think it is magic. Today, Kaylee's preschool teacher asked her if she had her Christmas tree up and Kaylee told her that she has a "magic tree". Her teacher thought that was adorable. Also, at breakfast this morning I caught Kianna waving her arm in the direction of the tree and getting frustrated that the lights weren't coming on. She now knows it only works if Mommy or Daddy are next to her. These are just a few of the precious moments I will cherish forever.
