Keeping with tradition, the day after Thanksgiving we decorated the house for Christmas. The kids were excited to see the boxes come up from the basement, especially Kyrie. While Darren did some winterizing outside, I Christmasized inside. It is always a joy to put out our favorite decorations: some handmade, some kid-made, some passed down from family. Of course, the centerpiece is the tree. Decorating our tree is like taking a walk down memory lane. Almost all of our ornaments are from our childhoods, made by the kids, gifts from others or collected on family trips. This is a wonderful start to our holiday season!
I think one of the toughest times to get photos is while everyone is decorating the tree. Everyone is going back and forth from the ornament box and the tree- too excited, too busy to stop for a photo.
With all the decorations on the tree, everyone was ready to admire our hard work and get a few photos!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! |
