Decorating the Christmas Tree

It was a struggle to get the tree up this year. I won't lie...it was up for a couple of days before I broke down and let the kids decorate it. Preslie wanted to put all the decorations we have on the whole tree. Kycen wanted to put his decorations on one branch I think there were 10 snowflakes on that one branch...that is until he went to bed ;)

We have the typical kid-friendly tree. With ornaments of all types, colors, shapes and sizes. But I like it like that :) I try to buy one new ornament each year for each of us. This year, I dropped the ball and couldn't find any that I really liked. Then I thought I'd make some cute frame ornaments to put on the tree with glitter and all that (since I love the glitter!), and couldn't find any wood ornaments either. At ANY craft store. sigh. Oh well. I'm trying to find some now. So I can be prepared for next year. Ya, that's what I'm doing...preparing. HA!

Preslie making sure to spread them all out to look nice



YEAH we're done decorating the tree! Just kidding, I'm sure that's NOT what they are thinking



I must've waited until the next night to take pictures of the kids in front of the tree. Oh well. At least I have some. And Kycen's look just makes me smile :) He's such a cutie!





And here is the tree. Completely decorated!
