Decorating the Christmas Tree

I didn't get around to putting up the Christmas tree before Lauren was born, but I really wanted it up. Eric had the week off after Lauren was born and let me sleep in most mornings. One of those mornings he put up my tree. I was so happy! I seriously started to cry when I came downstairs and saw my tree. I'll blame post-partum hormones and a lack of sleep.

When my mom came to help out for a couple of days the week after Lauren was born, we decorated the tree. Mostly, Kaylin decorated the tree. I did put on the more fragile ornaments, but Kaylin did a big chunk of the work.


There were many clumps of ornaments. This is one example.

Lauren was so excited about the tree.


Kaylin by the finished product.

I thought about rearranging some of the ornaments, but ended up leaving them where Kaylin put them. Her clumps were so cute and I really didn't have the energy to redecorate. I also didn't add my red and silver balls this year. The tree was a little bare this year, but probably my favorite.

And yes, I made the tree skirt :-).
