She\u2019s spotted the early festive decorations at shopping malls and even cheekily asked if those trees are ours. We still have our tree from last year, sans a couple of leaves and white fluffy decors that got permanently detached, so went about setting it all up last weekend. The tree was a lot easier to set up compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/2011\/11\/27\/christmas-tree\/\">our attempt last year<\/a>, and alongside Hannah\u2019s help, it was all done in less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1390-christmas-tree-setup\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1390-christmas-tree-setup_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1390-christmas-tree-setup\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Little helping hands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hannah was also delighted to find her pink haversack she used a while ago while she was in day care, and has quite taken to it again. She stuffs all her toys (especially Goofy) into it and brought it out with her over the weekend, even for quick trips to Compass Point for brunch.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, while she\u2019s become very good at retrieving her old toys out from her toy box, she\u2019s not nearly so diligent in returning them back to their rightful places when she\u2019s done with them. I\u2019m pretty certain all parents of young children experience this: that it\u2019s a real challenge getting the kids to put aside and keep their toys when they are done playing with them. Well, at least Hannah doesn\u2019t protest when we tell her to keep her toys. She\u2019ll immediately get right to it.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 330px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1335-weekendbrunch-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1335-weekendbrunch-flickr_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1335-weekendbrunch-flickr\" width=\"330\" height=\"495\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strutting with her new bag.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1345-weekendbrunch-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1345-weekendbrunch-flickr_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-hannah-OMDA1345-weekendbrunch-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Counting at brunch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We\u2019re also planning to take a short holiday this coming Christmas break.
