Trim the Tree

For family night yesterday, we finally put ornaments on the tree! The boys were SO excited, especially after I made them wait four whole days. Oh the cruelty!

I am actually impressed that I have my Christmas tree up and decorated before December! Go Mommy. The boys were so excited that they carried up nearly all the ornament boxes for me. Hooray!

The boys loved decorating the tree. I just kept handing them ornaments and letting them put them wherever they wanted.

Of course the boys can't reach too high, but they used all their resources (and the couch) to get the ornaments up as high as they could.

It was so fun to watch my big boys decorating the tree...

Even if their ornament placement was a little bit off.

Yep! There are 7 ornaments in this picture!

Ephraim was excited that it was his turn to put the star on the tree. Daddy lifted him up, and he got it up there.






Of course Amelia was very interested in what we were up to and watched us decorate the tree. She even retrieved an ornament or two... good thing all the ball ornaments on my tree are plastic!

After the kids went to bed, I moved the ornaments around a bit and I have a few more to put on, but I think the tree is going to be beautiful!
