Decorating for Christmas

The Sunday after Thanksgiving I drug out all the Christmas decorations and the kids helped decorate the house for Christmas. They love to help decorate and I enjoy it too. We turned on the Christmas music and went to town. MaKena is finally old enough to be helpful and Jacob, well he could probably do it all himself if I let him! Its so much fun to watch the kids get excited about decorating. We couldn't get the tree up fast enough for MaKena! Once the tree was up she was all about putting the decorations on. The bottom half of the tree was loaded with ornaments so when she wasn't looking Jacob and I moved some of them up a little higher to make the tree look even! After we finished the tree we scattered the rest of the decorations around the house and cleaned up the mess. Now I just hope they are as helpful when it comes time putting them away!!

She was very proud of herself.
