The Christmas Tree

 Gone are the days when I have three little kids hanging ornaments all in one clump on the front lower portion of the christmas tree. Oh how I miss the tree looking like a big old mess. I miss how proud they would be after they would hang each ornament.  It was just pure blissful chaos.

This year, it was just Jace and I decorating.  Hannah planted herself in a comfy chair and read a book the entire time. Dakota spent his time screaming at the Football game. Chad was in charge of Holiday drinks, music, and the camera( a very important job as well). It was still pretty chaotic, just a different kind of chaos. I'm thinking at least we were all in the same room.  I did manage to get all three kids together and pose for a few traditional pictures in front of the tree even if they didn't help.  Now I'm thinking......can I get them all on Santa's lap this year? Hmmm......that is my next mission.



I love these kids!

  1. you described exactly what my boys did this year...excited about every ornament and crammed all of them onto the lower 1/3 of the tree! and I was exhausted afterwards but Justin begged me to put their kids tree up downstairs in the play room :)
