The day after Thanksgiving I decided to tackle putting up the Christmas Tree and all of its ornaments with 8 little busy hands right by my side.  For me and my little helpers to get the tree adorned with all of its goodies it too all of about 3 hours.  That is right, I never thought it would take so long to put ornaments on a tree that is pre-lit.  As the boys and I were putting ornaments on the twins were taking them back off again.  It was a viscious cycle. Now that the tree has been up for a week now,the bottom have is constantly being rearranged by Lily and Adele.  Just yesterday she took off every one she could reach and brought them all to me in a bucket and was as proud as a peacock.  Then the newest thing for them today was opening presents.  They have found those now thanks to the help of little Zane and decided that the packages did not need any bows or name tags. I guess this Christmas we will be playing the guessing game as to whose gift is whose.  

So if you come and visit us during this festive Christmas season our tree may look a little like Charile Browns'  but you know the kids are sure having fun.

I think all of our trees look the same! Family memories, just think about family memories. :)
