Decorating the Tree

 It's sooooo much easier to put up your tree when your kid can read the letters and colors for each layer of branches!  Emily helped me assemble the tree and was so excited to be my "big helper".

 Jason "helped" by causing mischief and mayhem.  Here is his pose when he climbed into the tree box.

 All hands on deck for ornaments!  And we have tons of them!  Each kid makes at least one a year plus I get them from students as a holiday present.

Now if Willow can just stop eating all the glass ornaments, we might be able to sit back and relax and enjoy this tree!  Five ornaments have bit the dust so far.  Willow seems to seek out the antique, can't-be-replaced ornaments instead of the 10-for-a-dollar ones from Walmart.  She's very picky.
