We put up our Christmas Tree on Saturday, November 28th this year. We had 2 very big helpers (not really). Samantha helped us "fluff" the tree and Alden played under the tree. One of us had to constantly hold Clair because from her crying we could tell that she obviously needed a part in the process, so I got out my baby carrier that just made it very awkward for her - but at least my hands were free. :) It took over 4 hours to put up and decorate the tree this year. (RIDICULOUS!) The kids enjoyed wearing the "santa hats" and were very excited when we opened the totes of ornaments. Samantha loved hanging the ornaments on the tree, we later found out that she put all of her ornaments on "lights" on the tree. She thought that you had to hang all the ornaments over a light bulb. Where do kids get these things?!? Alden took some ornaments to put on the tree, but they never actually got put on the tree. He would get distracted by something else and leave them lay on the floor or the side table. He did manage to break 4 of our ornaments by the time we were all done with the tree!! Boys are so much different than girls! :) He loved the plastic gold trumpet ornament that he found last year and tried to play it backwards just like last year. It was very cute! We are afraid to put any "wrapped" presents under the tree for fear that Alden will open them all!
