Decorating the Christmas Tree
12-07-08



Megan helped cut the netting and then she got to pull it off. She was pretty excited to be chosen for this special job.

Then she tried on the star just for fun!


Mike puts the star on the tree...it's a delicate procedure. He has to stuff the lights into the star then he has to make the star stay on the tree. He's good at it so he gets to be the star guy each and every year.


Please don't call the animal cruelty hot line on us, we just made Rebel wear the candy cane antlers for one very quick shot. He was a good sport about the whole thing too.


I really have no idea why Megan looks so crazy...she was just having one of those days!
I would have thought that playing out in the snow for over an hour when it was 22 degrees would have gotten her energy out but I don't think it had any effect on her.


Rebel and Paige having a snuggle, they do this a lot!



Megan was singing Christmas carols to us from one of the little song books that we have.



We actually have more ornaments than tree branches this year. The kids get an ornament from Santa each year plus they get some in the stockings and as gifts from others too. Pretty soon there won't be any room for our (mine and Mikes) ornaments it will just be the kids tree.
Someday I would like to get a small (5 ft) fake tree to put in the front bay window in the den and I could put all my fancy glass ornaments on it.



Happy Holidays from our home to yours!


P.S. The girls don't usually wear matching clothes, but they just got their t-shirts for the "Nutty Nutcracker" yesterday so they both HAD to wear them today!
