Aha! It's done! The tree is up and the glow of lights is sooooo nice.
We let a mini-Santa help decorate. Actually, he stopped hugging the tree and helped us hang ornaments. You know that means most of them are within the bottom 2 feet of the tree. Somehow, it still looks "beautiful".
Our little guy was so happy the tree was being put up that he literally danced for joy. All over the house. Repeating "see? the tree is up! see? I love our tree." He is truly amazed. Last week, we had a playdate at church- 4 boys between 2 and 3 years old. It was a lot of fun- with the most popular toy being... a palm frond. Yes indeed. Anyway, we tried to wrangle the boys into a tree photo.
What were we thinking? It was like trying to herd kittens to sit together. There are 4 boys in the photo above. Kaden is all the way to the left. One boy laid on his stomach and the others started to follow. Then they realized they could swing their legs up and kick the tree ornaments. Seriously- herding kittens.
Tomorrow begins the -so-many-holiday-party-days. I think the schedule goes: morning party and night party, night party, day off, work (giving gifts to volunteers), work, work with kids party, afternoon party. One of those parties I don't have to prepare, and all are related to church or work in some way. I'd like to do our cookie party again this year (we make the dough and ppl just come over and roll, bake, decorate whilst we chat and drink cocoa). We'll see. If nothing else, I'll have some fun photos for everyone :) How's your Christmas season going?

Love that little decorating Santa. We let the kids hang most of the ornaments as well- so only the truly fragile ones end up at the top! I never change it b/c it's their handy work and they are oh so proud of it. We just put about 500 lights on the tree & it all works out. Hope you get to enjoy the upcoming festivities without too much stress :)
