The kids love decorating our tree each year. I pull out all of their special ornaments they have made or that they have received and place them in the lid of a box, so they have their own little pile and they go to town putting them on the tree. I love hearing their gasps and squeals as they come upon one they have forgotten or a really special one that they remember and have been looking specifically for. I love that they seem to love Christmas just as much as I do. I love them and their joy and wonder. Kate put the star on the tree with just a little bit of help from Daddy. Good job, Kate! After I finally had the lights and ribbon on, they set to work. I always love the finished tree - even with four ornaments and two candy canes on each limb. I wouldn't change a thing. They work so hard to make it beautiful - and it is. After the tree was done, we put the Santa Train around the bottom. Kate especially loves the train and loves to make it go round.
