Isabella + Christmas Tree.

Isabella came over at 6.30 a.m., so she had only just got up.  It was the first time she had seen the decorations this year, so there were lots for her to explore.

Here she is holding the decoration with her name on, from last year, in her right hand.  In her left hand she is clutching a fairy that I made for her to put on the tree.  You can imagine how many times the fairy went on the tree and then was taken off again!

We had breakfast, whilst listening to the Nutcracker Suite, playing on an
animated toy theatre.  I tried to turn it off after awhile, but she wanted it to stay on.  So it did, even whilst I was reading books to her.

The extra is of her sitting on the bottom stair, holding a toy reindeer, which I put in Alexandra's stocking, 30 years ago!
