Every year the kids each hang their 'babies first Christmas' ornament on the tree. We usually do this closer to Thanksgiving but this year. I knew that Andrew and Katey were not going to leave the ornament alone. So I chose to wait until Christmas eve to decorate the tree.
This is Albert hanging his ornament!
Katey had to inspect her ornament first. Her's is all shiny.
You can barely see it but she did get it on there.
Andrew hanging his ornament.
Sarah hanging her ornament!
And last but not least Albert hanging his. Yep after all these years he still hangs his ornament on the tree.
Our Christmas tree!! I know to most people our tree isn't something spectacular and beautiful but to us it is. All the ornaments on our tree have meaning. Most of them the kids made by themselves. I choose to let the kids decorate the tree with their ornaments because like in the movie 'the littlest angel' the perfect gift isn't always the biggest, brightest or most expensive. It's the gift (or this case tree ornaments) that was done or made with thought, consideration and love. That's what makes our tree perfectly beautiful to me!!
We have started a tradition that kids get 1 gift Christmas Eve, pajamas. Then they wear them to bed and they are in their new jammies for Christmas morning.
Andrew with his new pj's. He was trying to put them on.
The other 3 kids with their new pj's. Opps I cut off Sarah's head.
Albert didn't get pj's. He got an apron that he'll never wear but that's ok. It's the thought that counts right? The Christmas Eve gifts are from me only so that's why I didn't open one. It would be weird to open a gift from myself. LOL
