25 Days of Christmas - Day 5

Set-up and decorate the "family" Christmas tree

I am a bit over-the-top when it comes to Christmas decorating -we have 4 trees. 3 fakes and a real one. The fake one in the dining room is our "family" tree and it has all the random ornaments, and ones the kids have made. AND they get to decorate it. Which they did, all by themselves, even the garland (Dan helped a bit with the top!). They love to do this and I love to have a tree that they can take some pride in...which makes me feel better about not letting them decorate our main tree in the living room!!!
(disclaimer for days 1-3...I didn't have the bright idea of documenting our 25DOC until the 3rd day, which is why my kids are dressed the same. Sorry Kim, laundry must still take place during the 25 DOC!)

Anyway, here's the pics...
The final ornament...
It always makes me smile when they pose this way for pictures - these girls are just too cute for words! And it's nice to have a record of siblings LOVING each other! :)

How sweet! That is a beautiful picture of your girls. I hope to get our tree decorated this weekend (and get some good photos of the kids!).

love the idea of a tree that is totally just for them to decorate and that is out for ALL to enjoy.
