Last night we were all so excited to put up our Christmas tree. We thought Haven would LOVE it—having never had a real Christmas before. Out came all the decorations, the train that goes around the bottom of the tree, the lights, the music—mmmmm, what more could a little girl want? NOT. She hated it \ud83d\ude42 She was completely overwhelmed by the whole experience. She had no idea what was going on….poor little angel. <\/p>\n

What in the world is going on in my house????<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that by this morning she had warmed to the idea of us having a tree with flashing lights in our living room. It was way less intimidating, and actually quite fun. Victory \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
