She seemed really happy to help. I also managed to find us an angel for the top of the tree. I've been looking for one for years to replace Stuart's delapidated star. So when I took it out of the bag it fell on the floor and the head fell off. Then we realised that it looked like this had already happened before, as there was glue in the same place. So I picked that off and Stuart superglued it back on. When I asked Stuart for a name for the angel, he said Frankenstein. I said we can't call her that. We'll call her Frankincense instead, so now that's been shortened to Frankie. Alice just calls her angel.
A close up of Frankie.
The finished tree. Thankfully Alice hasn't been too bad about the tree being up. She's been more concerned that we had to get rid of her playpen. She kept asking for it and pointing to where it normally lives (which is just opposite where the tree is). She has only tried to touch the tree a couple of times and when I said you don't touch, just look. She then got all her stuffed animals one by one and pointed them in the direction of the tree to look at the angel.
If we don't get to blog before next week, have a really happy Christmas.

Good to chat with you the other day Pauline - even though it was short. Leah and I got the presents all wrapped up and they are safely hidden in her room.
Love the angel Frankie - love the name too!! haha
Wasnt there a song we used to sing about "Frankie"???? Bells ring in my memory somewhere....maybe charlene can tell us more about that - it was probably someone she was after...or kissed!! hahaha
(so come on Charlene spill the beans and help me get my memory back again!)
Hopefully tomorrow we will get our Christmas tree so there will come pictures soon.
Ok got to get off to bed. Good night
It was great to "chat" with you too the other day. It has prompted quite a few discussions about how we're losing traditions at Christmas in our increasingly secular society.
Glad you and Leah got all your pressies wrapped.
There was a song called Frankie, I used to sing it all the time. I remember Lorraine dragging me round to some bloke's who she fancied and it came on the radio and I just sat and sang the song and then was a bit bored. I think I was about 13.
Look forward to seeing the pics of your tree.
Need to go and do some wrapping myself. Stuart and Alice are out shopping!!
