Christmas Tree

My mom was here for the week and I loved her being here helping us. In that help, she aided Jamie in getting the Christmas boxes out of the attic and we went ahead and "put up" Christmas with her here (even though it's before Thanksgiving. oh well!) So here's a little taste of Christmas so far at the Hobbs' house:

Matthew: "What is THAT?!"
Momma: "It's a big box. It holds our Christmas tree. Do you want to help momma with the Christmas tree?"
Matthew: "Right!"

So, Matthew helped throw the branches into piles and helped me "fluff" each branch and hand it to Daddy. He helped inspect Daddy's work of putting the pole up before we could add the branches. "That's a tall tower!" he said at the empty pole. :) It was so fun watching him be a part of helping get it all together. And every morning so far he's ran to the playroom and has been so happy that his Christmas tree is still there! Today this was his response, when seeing it and I flicked the lights on: "Momma! It's the Chris-sas Tree! It is!" Like, you never know, it might have walked off in the middle of the night. Good thing it's still standing where we left it. haha.

So question-- how do you explain to him AFTER Christmas is over that we have to put it BACK in the box??
