I've always loved the "decorated" part of Christmas much more than the "decorating" part of Christmas, but decorating with kids gives it a new meaning. (Read: there is surely lots of "is it time now?", several broken ornaments, an overly watered tree, large clusters of ornaments in the same areas, etc.) But still, the process is more what they look forward to. We have somehow added a new tree each year and this year we've ended up with 4. The big kids got to help decorate them and were so proud! The outside lights haven't made it up yet, but we are ok with that, for now ;)
And we celebrated our decoration completion by watching "The Grinch" with chocolate milk, popcorn and candy canes. (Side note: that completely counts as a balanced dinner, right?! No?! Well, then I'll take the "cool mom" award for the night!)
And the felt tree...
