The Christmas Tree

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas ornaments. Decorating the tree is one of my favorite things every year. I spend all year collecting the perfect ones for the year from everyplace we go. We got a new tree this year to replace the $20.00 one we've had since we got married because the lights have never all worked. My parents stopped by for a few minutes and the girls showed them their best dance moves while Two Fish got out the new tree. I thought hanging the ornaments with both girls would be really stressful since I was worried about things getting broken but it was actually lovely. They weregood about taking the nonbreakable ornaments I handed them and they loved getting to hang them on the branches. They both wanted to be on the stepladder the whole time but other than that everything was perfect. A nice family evening in with Christmas carols and my beloved ornaments.

Even Blue Fish, the dog was good for the decorating.

We used to get an ornament every year growing up, but I love the tradition too much to stick with one ornament per year. So we get one from all of our travels so we have a fun keepsake to remember the trip and it still fulfills our tradition.Red Fish also made this little Reindeer garland today while New Fish was sleeping. She did a really good job gluing the pieces together and drawing on some of the faces when we ran out of parts. I think it turned out really cute. I think we are going to have a lot of fun making decorations this month.
