We turned on one of our favorite Christmas Cd's, David Lanz's "Christmas Eve". It's an instrumental selection of spiritual Christmas favorites interspersed with some of his original Christmas material. It has been our traditional "Trimming the Tree" CD since Kyle was a baby.
The kids were really excited to get started...
From November 2010 |
All the kids seemed to understand how important it was to be careful...even Talia. It was easy for me to let them place their own ornaments (I figured I could adjust things around later if necessary).

(Kyle was excited that he could reach as high as me...)
Indy, as always, was fascinated and had to be in the middle of things...

Even with being careful, the inevitable accident happened...caused by a collision between Alec and Cole.

I did all of the up high stuff...I didn't want the kids climbing on the chair and losing their balance

Although Talia did sneak once...

But did make his contribution to the tree...

Cosette always joins us to watch as well...

(I wish Elements had a way to fix "pet eye")
It's uncanny how the cats always know exactly what is going on.

I have most my other decorations up as well. I'm getting more and more excited for Christmas, and I'm already enjoying the season!
