Knowing full well that if I wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate it might not happen, we took the plunge Saturday and decorated! Noah was a HUGE help. He found all the letters for me (I labeled each branch level a different letter). We then had "learning time" where he was able to tell me what came before other letters.... he is really good at the alphabet, but this made him really stop to think (since "A" is on top). Hannah also got to help by passing some of the branches to us (although they were not always the ones we needed :) ). Daddy helped string the lights and Noah put on all the bottom ornaments (where he could reach).
Not a great picture...but hey at least he wasn't trying to hide...
Don't let his face full you- they both LOVED the box lid!
Last year after Christmas we hit the "after" sale. We got this 4 ft tree for a GREAT deal. This is one that will stay downstairs for the "kids" tree. They are welcome to decorate it and redecorate it as often as they want (as long as they don't touch MY tree upstairs!). They have all non-breakable ornaments from when I was little and ones that they have received.
Ok... you caught me. This one has nothing to do with Christmas decorating. It was too cute not to post though.
