Decorating the Tree

We picked out a tree for family home evening, but by the time we got home and got it set up, it was getting pretty late, so we told the kids we would put on the decorations and finish it up tomorrow.

The next morning I came out and found Corbin directing Makelle to hand him ornaments while he hung them up. I had to explain that we were actually going to wait until that evening when Daddy got home to decorate it.


I love how they got the stool specifically so they could reach up high and not just have to put them in a cluster on the bottom were they could reach, so instead we ended up with a cluster at the top, because they really liked climbing up the stool.









Poor Mr. Sethers was just too tired to stay up and help decorate his first tree and we lost him about 5 minutes into it. I had great visions of him playing with the little bell ornaments as they jingle while he looks on with a grand vision of awe and wonder at the simple joys of the Christmas season, but no... turns out he couldn't have cared less :)


It is already beginning to feel a lot more like Christmas, especially when you first walk into the house and smell that wonderful pine scent again and again. I love it!
