What do you do the day after stuffing your belly with turkey?
On this cold and windy day we opted to stay home and lounge in PJ's all day. We watched movie after movie after movie all cuddled up on the couch with plenty of blankets.
But being the busy body that I am, I insisted that we get at least one thing done today. So when the girls laid down for their nap Steve, the boys and I got to work getting the tree up and hanging some decorations. The boys worked hard at separating all the ornaments into every one's own pile.
The girls we so excited when they woke up to find the tree and decorations up. We made sure not to hang any ornaments until they could do it with us. Oh how hard it was for Landon to wait for them to rise, I think he asked at least ten times, can we hang them yet???
3 years ago I opted to forgo my fancy tree and turn it into the kids tree. Saint Nick has brought the kids a new ornament for the tree every year since then. I can't help but laugh when I think back of how bare the tree looked when we first switched the tree over to just their ornaments. We still have PLENTY of open spots on the tree again this year, but the joy they get out of looking at and picking through which ornaments are their own is priceless.
Our stocking are hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St Nick will soon be here...
