Christmas Challenge Day #5: Trimming the Tree

A Christmas staple to any family that celebrates Christmas: decorating the Christmas tree!!!!!

I've always enjoyed having that "perfect" tree...until my poor ornaments met my son!  Last year, the ornaments went on...15 minutes later, those that hadn't been pulled off or broken by a certain little boy were taken off by me!

So this year, a new plan has been put into action!  Lots of lights!  Lots of soft ornaments!  No hooks!  No beloved ornaments! And no worries!  This tree is for Samuel!!!  Listening to Christmas carols, we decorated as the family!  And enjoyed the OOOOOH! and look for joy on Samuel's face as we lit the tree!!! 

This is also a great work in progress!!!  Our tree does look a little bare right now, but next week Samuel and I are going to make some homemade ornaments for the tree!!!  Maybe even some garland too!!! 

Tree decorating is one of my favorite traditions, and I'm so happy that I could share it with my son!
