It was.
And she loved everything about the entire season.
Except the fact that she couldn’t touch the Christmas tree.
Which sort of drove her crazy – daily – for the 4 weeks the tree was up before Christmas.
But the presents on Christmas day more than made up for any hard feelings she might have had.
And then some.
Tallula lit up as soon as that first present landed in her hands.
And she proceeded to wrestle it, rip into it and, as necessary, hold the entire thing up with her foot.
The girl’s a pro.
Each and every gift mesmerized her as she opened it – especially this little fairy costume.
Just 361 more days until we get to do it all again, sweet girl.

Michele Yoder says
One of my friends had a great idea that she tried out this year. They have one tree that the kids can not touch but to make up for that tree, she has a smaller tree that the kids are allowed to decorate to their hearts content over and over and over. Well you get the picture. She said her 2 year old had a blast playing with the tree all Christmas season and she never once had a kid touch her good tree. Just an idea.
