Christmas Tree Decorating

Oh the excitement of tree decorating this year! Our kids were so thrilled with every little aspect of this--except for waiting for the lights and beads to be put on. There is always a special snack involved so this year we had puffed wheat squares and vanilla steamed milk--none of which were actually a big hit with the kids. This was one of the rare times they were more interested in the activity than the food! They had fun opening some special ornaments from Nana and looking at all the different ornaments from previous years. They are all very proud to have their own stockings and are trying to figure out exactly how Santa will get in the house and fill them up. Whether the tree will survive disaster in the next couple weeks remains to be seen!
