our tradition of decorating the tree the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
It never goes as I plan, though. I imagine Christmas carols in the
background, talking about the ornaments as we all put them on the
tree, while drinking hot chocolate. Yeah, that's not how it went at all.
Since it was like 70 degrees outside, Creed was wearing a short
sleeve shirt when he picked up the first part of the tree. After ripping
his poor arm to shreds, he changed clothes, but never got back in
the Christmas spirit. (I don't blame him!) Caleb put ONE ornament
on the tree and he was done. With all the Christmas bins scattered
about, he decided to get out all of his toys. Then he wanted Nerds
and then he spilled the cup of Nerds all over the floor. So, in the midst
of "tree trimming" I was vacuuming Nerds. So, I decorated the tree
and tried to let the Christmas carols playing in the background
drown out Caleb's fussing! Next year I'm sure it will go just as I always
imagine...
Helping Daddy put the star on.
Caleb got to hang the first ornament- his door from last
year!
Our finished product. His expression is "Please hurry
and take the picture so you can unpause Mickey Mouse
Clubhouse." ;)

Well the finished product is beautiful!! Worth all of the hard work! And I can't believe you are brave enough to let him eat nerds in the house--that's an outside only food! =)
