Tree decorating this year was so much fun! We first had to haul our very prickly tree into the house and get is standing up straight. There was no way I was laying down and helping Greg with this one (baby belly is just a tad too big for that!), but there was lots of help available! All three kiddos braved the prickles and helped out.
Once the tree was straight and secure we busted out the box of decorations. It's always so much fun going through the box and picking out old favourites. So many memories are attached to Christmas decorations - it's like a walk down memory lane :)
Despite the lack of pictures, Kiera did hang some decorations as well. She was not as "in to it" as I thought she might be. She did enjoy walking around the tree looking at all the decorations once they were up, though. She also had a hard time keeping her hands off of them (surprise, surprise). Seth was a little pickier this year than previous years - he kept standing back to make sure that the decorations were well spaced. That's my boy :)
We took the kids shopping one day the following week so they could each pick out a new ornament for the year. I discovered, once again, what .... sparkly?? garish??? tacky??? .... taste my son has. Two years ago he picked out a giant pink sparkly ornament - this year it was a big (and I mean big) blue jewel. They look lovely beside eachother :-p. His lucky wife when he moves out!
