We were busy bees over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We have made it a tradition to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. This year was the first year that Ethan really got into it and wanted to help. I love this time of year!
Ethan wanted to put every ornament on the tree. We gave in and let him decorate the tree pretty much by himself. Of course I rearranged all of the ornaments when he went to bed!
One of the many tricks the twins have learned recently is pulling out the chairs and climbing on the kitchen table. I knew they were headed straight for the top of the table when they saw the tree and reindeer. They have actually been really good about not destroying the tree and other decorations this year.
Gotta love Martha Stewart for great holiday ideas! Every year I struggle with where to display our Christmas cards. This year I decided to hang them off of the berry branches. If you look closely, you'll see our Christmas elf. My sister let me in on a tradition called Elf on the Shelf. It's a sweet book about an elf that watches over the kids every day and reports back to Santa each night on their behavior. Every day the elf is in a different location for the kids to find. Today he happened to rest in the berries.
Our tree!
