Christmas is in the air

Usually December 1st we get all our Christmas stuff up. This year, with there being no snow, I really had a hard time getting into it. So we just DID IT!!! Our tree is totally kids orientated and no professionalism at all. All of our decorations are handmade by the kids, or have been gifts. The kids are in charge of doing ALL the decorating. I dont even hover to "direct" their decisions anymore. It is their tree. So here they are with their finished project (there is lights on it, forgot to turn them on) Rhyme is 'getting into the spirit' too. She just had to go inside EVERY box that was emptied. This was her favorite. Good thing she is heavy or I wouldve packed her away! :o)

Here Sara is putting up stuff.

And Eric trying to decide where to put some!

And Jada, She put ALL of her decorations on the same branch (this was the only time I had to 'encourage' a placement of decoration)

We arent off to a very good start though. Our poor tree has been up for 2 days now and has fallen twice. AHHHHH!!! Between Jada and the cats, we might not have any decorations left after this year. Jada keeps wanting to 'move her decoration' to a new spot.

Merry Christmas to you ALL!!!
