The Tree

As I watched the kids getting very excited about decorating the tree I could remember how my childhood was just like that. I could not wait to see the next ornament that came out of the box almost as much as I could hardly wait to see what that years ornament was going to be. They were so cute looking through the box to decide who's ornament was who's and trying to remember when they received said ornament. Then of course where should they place the ornament on the tree. Bear of course was one extreme or the other, the very top of the tree or the very bottom one. Where as Isabelle was all over and Cooper was right about about Cooper height. Of course Decllan got a chance to put his "First Christmas" ornament on the tree as well, with the help of Mom. It was some rowdy, crazy, fun. But once those kids were done or had lost interest that was it. So hopefully the tree still looks pretty good.


I pretty much need a second tree of the same height in order to get all the ornaments on, but for right now I love to focus on the kids ornaments. I love the fact that nothing matches and each one has a different story for each kid. I hope they enjoy their ornaments as much as I do when they are older. It is so much fun to see the history and memories each year.
