I'm a control freak I'm afraid when it comes to the tree--I HAVE to do the lights, no one else does 'em "right". The kids enjoy hanging their ornaments; they each have their own collection, contributed primarily from their grandmother. My youngest has already gotten his out and we don't even have our tree yet! Ha! I love it (his enthusiasm). Great pic of D, it's my favorite of the bunch :). Color me impressed!

Although I decorate to the hilt for Halloween, Christmas overwhelms me every year. They did an awesome job! Although I decorate to the hilt for Halloween, Christmas overwhelms me every year.

I’d like to think he’s getting it from me, but sometimes I can’t help but think that some of these traits are hard-wired in them before they ever reach us. Not that we don’t play critical roles in developing and nurturing such gifts and qualities, but I just can’t make myself feel good about taking all the credit on this one. Especially knowing that I think he’s more polite and aware of giving thanks than I am! LOL [...] [...] I can’t help but ponder on my 4 year old’s polite manners.

I'm such a scrooge, I don't have the energy to decorate the house or anything Christmasy. But after seeing this, I might just get into the spirit for the kids' sake. Oh, that’s lovely!

Cutting down your very own tree that you pick out! I love real trees, but the ones at the tree stands here tend to get sun burned on one side. I would love to go up North and pick one out at a Tree Farm! Very pretty shots of the kids decorating the tree! My PTT is up. It's about me remembering some of the little things my kids have done. http://arewethereyetmom.blogspot.com/2006/11/with-end-of-year-quickly-approaching.html That is so cool Kelly!

I miss having a real tree, but I dont have the time (or patience?) to take care of the maintenance! *hugs* Oh my goodness, I remember when we used to go to the Christmas Tree Farm :) What great memories that brings back!

We watched - we were so young. I was sitting on the floor carefully unwrapping the breakable stuff - and the girls were bouncing around finding places to fill on the fresh tree. You could hear the music playing. I remember from my own childhood - decorations that were glass fruit. When my mom died there was only one left - a rasberry. I don't know which of my siblings took it home. (If you saw my egg story you know I got that crazy little memento instead.. ha ha ha ha) the hubby pulled out old video’s the other day.
