Oh, Christmas Tree

The kids helped decorate the Christmas tree yesterday. They each have a box that holds their ornaments. All of the kids had so much fun pulling out and remembering their ornaments---I had fun watching them. M-G, of course, has a few more than the other children---but she has been alive a bit longer. We will have to find an ornament for Z this year---he does not have one yet.

The kids had a blast and, amazingly, only one ornament broke---fortunately it was one of mine and not one that any of the kids treasure. We decided after the breaking of that ornament that there would be no more glass balls or other fragile ornaments to go on the tree---this means that many of my ornaments are staying packed away. Maybe next year we will put the tree in the office area where there is carpet and it will not matter if an ornament tumbles off of the tree or not.

Hope you are all having a wonderful time getting ready for the Christmas holiday!
