One of my best childhood memories is decorating our Christmas tree. It was just such a wonderful family time! We'd always turn off the t.v., put on the Christmas music, drink egg nog and hot chocolate, and just enjoy each other. As one would expect, I want a similar experience for my own children, so last week we set aside a special time to decorate our tree. Landry got out her boom box with her kids Christmas CD. While Cory and I drug out the tree and the ornaments. Next year, we are getting a real tree, but we'll save that for later.
As soon as we opened the box of ornaments, Landry immediately starting sorting through things. She knew exactly what to do, thanks in part to her Elmo Christmas DVD.
First she got the ribbon just right. LOL
Then she gathered all the ornaments. She was straight business!
Eli had other things in mind, like eating the ornaments (surprise, surprise),
and taking anything and everything off the tree. Thank God for plastic Christmas balls
Truthfully, my children may not even remember this event when they get older. They are still a little young. However, I have added it to one of MY favorite memories along with all great memories of decorating the tree as a child.
