Decorating the Tree

Decorating the tree this year was so much fun! I had three very eager helpers. All I really did was take pictures while they did the decorating. Kate took care of the bottom branches of the tree. The bottom of the tree has so many ornaments! She would run to the ornament box and flap her hands in excitement while somebody got her a new ornament. She looked like a bird flapping her wings. Luke and Rachel were seasoned decorators. Many of the branches have as many as four or five ornaments on them. I have left the tree exactly how they decorated it....the tree is beautiful just the way it is!!!

The kids excitement has really inspired me to do some more decorating. I usually don't do much more decorating than putting up a tree, but this year I have gotten all the decorations out. It makes me smile to see the inside of the house all lit up with our Christmas decorations. I think all the cold weather we have been having and the kids being so excited has really put me in the Christmas spirit. I have even been watching Hallmark Christmas movies and drinking homemade hot chocolate for the past week. I just wish I were inspired to do some shopping! I am so behind!!!
