Decorating the Christmas Tree

After Jacob’s birthday party we dug the Christmas decorations out and started decorating for Christmas. They kids were excited. We turned on some Christmas music and got busy singing and decorating. It reminds me of when I was a kid decorating for Christmas. We’d always turn the Oak Ridge Boys Christmas tape on and sing and dance all day while we decorated. Hopefully my kids have fun memories of decorating for Christmas like I do. MaKena really got into helping this year. She helped last year but she lost interest after awhile. This year she was all about putting the decorations on the tree. It was cute. A majority of her decorations she put on only made it to the bottom of the tree. I remember the first year Jacob helped decorate the tree; all of the decorations were at the bottom 3rd of the tree and in the front. That’s all the higher the little peanuts could reach! Lane even got in on the decorating and helped put the tree together and put the lights on. I always get so dizzy putting the lights on, going around and around the tree! I was glad when he offered. Before we knew it the tree was decorated and all ready for presents.
