Decorating the Tree

Sunday night for family night we decorated the tree. Brody had a hard time waiting and started with out us, but he was too cute to stop. We have a tradition every year that the kids get an ornament. We decided that we'd give them their ornaments (from mom and dad) they day we decorated the tree so we'd be able to enjoy them. This year they got their ornaments from ICE. Brody's was the nice Grinch and Ella's is Cindy Lou Who. Brody and Ella are quite the pair! Trying to get anything on the tree was hard --- but getting it to stay on the tree in the same place is going to be a bigger challenge. These two want to be such big helpers they keep moving where everything is. Our tree might be a bit bottom heavy with ornaments this year, but we made sure the really fragile ones went up high.

Ella showing off one of her "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments from last year...while sporting Brody's Christmas jammies from 2007. Snowman are gender neutral right?? Just ignore that they are too small for her...Working together to try and hang some higherThe finished product!

(And just so everyone knows...Ella has Chrismas jammies that are girlie and that fit her, but they were dirty and she wanted to wear some, so we improvized!)

Sarah--Pretty tree! The kids look so happy with their work. Where did you find the nativity scene for the refrigerator? That is awesome!
