this is the first year that we decorated the christmas tree as a family....i usually wait until everyone (even vic!) goes to bed and then i do it all by myself!
i am very picky about my tree!
but one of my favorite childhood memories is getting our house all ready for christmas. we would always go pick out the perfect tree on my birthday and set it up that night. i remember the first year my mom let me help with the lights (that was always her job and we would have to wait FOREVER for her to do it!) now....the lights are my least favorite job....they do take FOREVER to do!
so i let it all go and let my little family have some fun! kate was an awesome little helper, handing me ornaments while i stood on the stool to do the top half (it was actually really great! i didn't have to keep going up and down!) will was a goof...he was so amazed by everything! "WOW!" was his favorite word for the night!
after the tree was "done" (i totally went back and re-did 75% of it) vic set up our train.
WILL WAS THRILLED!
the kids played with it....and broke half of it! now i remember why we haven't taken it out for several years. i honestly thought it would be fine....oh well, they had two hours of pure bliss, right?!
after all of the fun, we put the kiddos down for the night...and put away the train!
maybe we'll try again next year!
