Well, our tree decorating this year has been a week long process. We have had so much going on that it has been hard to devote a single block of time to get it done. So, we did a little bit each night until it was just the way we like it.
Stetson and Cassidy had the all important job of testing each strand of lights before it was placed on the tree. Stetson plugged it in while Cassidy held it and made sure they all turned on. I think she liked her job.
Once kid-tested and approved, they were ready for the tree! They both did a great job "feeding" the lights to Daddy.
As you can tell from the change of clothing in the next picture, the lights were all that got completed that night. Next came the ornaments. Cassidy was proud to hang her new elf ornament on the tree. She hung it low enough where she could see it and goes and talks to it all the time.
Stetson is a pro at hanging ornaments! This was the first year he remembered our ornaments and was looking for specific ones, which was really fun for me.
He even asked for help hanging some of them up high. Who needs a ladder when you have a Daddy?!
Once again, the ornaments were all that got done that night. The next night was the tinsel, aka our favorite part. Cassidy placed each strand just perfectly on the branches as her brother tossed a handful over her head.
Ta-Da!! Our tree is complete!
Tonight the kids and I got to enjoy our first cups of hot chocolate next to the tree. This is Cassidy's first year to join Stetson and me, and we love having her!
