Sunday was so anticipated by our kids, putting up the tree is always fun (for them). We carefully scheduled this time, as our week was quite busy. Church on Saturday night is so nice, freeing Sunday for us. There were only a few tense and irritated words exchanges while straightening the branches and finding the right plugs for the lights. After the tree was up, the decorating was done quickly and enthusiastically by five pajama-clad kids.
And joy and a lot of laughter from a silly tradition, of each child putting the star on the tree...on daddy's shoulders.
this on makes me laugh because D's face was repeatedly shoved into the branches!
a little easier with the 40 lb and under set...
a 5'2" boy on daddy's shoulders...
not sure if his back has recovered from this yet...such a look of fierce determination!
a little bundle of joy, making a nest in the tree just like when she was a kitten.
the joy of everyone home together for a whole day...
