Decorating the tree

MAEVE: My favorite ornament on the tree?  I have two favorites.  The new one Addie picked out for me.  Actually three.  And this angel one.  And the manger.  The one Addie got me is a swirl ornament and it’s sparkly purple.  Like the shape of a circle.  And I love it.  And my daddy and my sister got it for me.

The angel one is very pretty and very special to me.  Her hair is yellow.  She has green wings.  And I named her Merella.  She has a circle mouth, almost like she’s saying "boo".  She has a white bottle in her hair [it's in her hand, actually-- Maeve is a little distracted].  She has a flower on her foot that says “Maeve” and what’s two zero eleven?

DADDY: What do you think it is?

M: It’s one one.  No.  two hundred?

D: It’s two thousand eleven.   That’s the year you got it.

M: From when I was five.  The manger is also my favorite.  It’s cute.  And I like it.  And I really love it.  There’s Jesus and Mary and Jophus. 

D: Addie, what’s your favorite ornament?

ADDIE:  the sled one and the Christmas tree one because I’m the baby and Maeve is holding me.  There’s a picture in them and they’re the same picture and Maeve is holding me when I was a baby in them.

I also like this one [the manger one Maeve was talking about] because it’s a house and there are people in it playing house.

I have to go now because mom needs my help.
