Helpers

We hauled the Christmas tree upstairs today and put it together. Currently, about 2/3 of the lights are working. Jemma and Jordan decorated it while I was working this afternoon.

Jordan was instrumental in making sure at least some of the ornaments were placed above Jemma's reach. Jemma carefully hung the remaining ornaments in categories -- hers, Jordan's and Mom & Dad's. As you can see, this resulted in small clusters of decorations. It's an interesting array.


Santa's elves may have to pay us a visit in the night to sort this out.

We finally got some snow here tonight! Your tree looks very original and creative. We wouldn't be able to cluster our ornaments because I have 24 years of one series from Hallmark that would make the tree fall over if we didn't spread them out. I love my series, but I let my kids pick any ornament they want and I don't make them stick with specific ones. Your ornaments are very cute!

Aren't those elves so helpful?

Elisa said that Miriam decorated their tree and all the ornaments where in one cluster on the tree, I told her to leave it that way, it's so cute that the kids help. That was my favorite thing about christmas, decorating the tree and putting the lego town and train under it.

I had to hold my hand back to keep from rearranging the kids' ornaments as soon as they hung them. They were putting 2 of the same kind on one branch or putting them all right next to each other. It was making me crazy.
