Decorating for Christmas

Christmas is my favorite time of year.  I love the season.  The kids were super helpful this year in putting up the tree and decorating the house.  The Christmas tree we have is the same tree I had growing up...it's OLD!  We do it the old fashioned way..each branch has to be inserted into the "trunk" of the tree.  The kids did a great job sorting them by color so that the tree could be put together.

Hanging ornaments


Leila hanging ornaments-She loved getting all the special ornaments.  She decided she didn't like Dora and that she didn't want to put those ornaments up.  I tried to explain to her that she used to love Dora and the ornament needed to go on the tree.

Holden was a big helper getting all the hooks ready.  He also really liked touching all the glass ornaments.  They only broke one!
