Decorating the Tree


This year the tree was entirely decorated without my help. Every ornament we own got put on....and they got put on....pretty much just one side. Not too long after we were all done, Mesa bumped the tree and it tipped over because it was so heavily weighted on one side! (The picture was taken when they were half way done.) Matt and I did our best to put it back~now it just leans. Ha! Oh well! We can live with it. The girls are very proud of "their" tree. And I am very proud of them for doing all of the work.

Sooo cute! The girls will always remember you let them decorate the tree. It will be a special memory!

I love it, especially that the tree fell over! :-) The boys decorated our tree, and Hailey undecorated it! She's still taking ornaments off everyday, which is frustrating to me and to the boys! UGH! I'm also sure your pic's were fine, I don't think I've ever seen a bad picture of you or the girls! Matt is a different story!! Ha! Love you guys and Merry Christmas!

I'm sorry about your tree falling over. It is a beautiful tree though. I used to try and tell the kids where to put the decorations and finally just gave in to their creativity. They seem to be way more excited and there is a lot more peace in the home when they put the decorations up the way they want. Of course after they go to bed I find myself moving some of them around. (So far the kids have never noticed!!!)
