Christmas Recap - Decorating Our Tree

We decorated our tree one night after dinner.  The kids liked playing with the ornaments more than they liked actually putting them on the tree, but we all had fun.

We had a bunch of the unbreakable ornaments that we set out for Leah to hang up.  Not surprisingly, she did NOT want any of those.  This one ball ornament kept her busy for a while.  It had a picture of a baby on it that she really liked.

She also liked to take ornaments back off the tree, much better than she liked putting them on the tree.

Or maybe just the right ornament to play with!

Leah liked the dolly

We asked her to show it for the camera and say cheese

Cam actually did a very good job hanging up the ornaments.  His favorite part was climbing up the ladder to put ornaments up high.

He asked about pretty much every ornament - whose was it, where did it come from, what was its story.

Since we started putting up the ornaments after dinner, the kids got tired after just a little while so they didn't end up hanging up very many.  We paused to put them to bed and then Tim and I finished up the tree.  We forgot to take a picture when we were done, so you will have to wait until our Christmas Day recap to see the final product!
