Our prettiest tree ever:)
The day after Thanksgiving is always our day to decorate the tree and get the ornaments all out. Although cutting down a tree is not something I tackle, wrestling one out of the basement storage room is no small task either. Since Tim has worked this day the last few years the kids and I are on our own. Thankfully, Alli and Erin are old enough to grab an end. It's always fun and it keeps the kids busy for quite awhile. Alli has the most ornaments because she is the oldest and they get one every year. So every year I let Erin and Tyler put on all the extra's balls, as a preventative measure, to help even things out. Alli got to help untangle the lights. I must say they were in the worst wad ever. I think I remember the day I put them away. Pretty sure I hauled them off the tree in attempts to quickly get the tree put away while I was unpacking from FL. Don't think I was in any mood to roll them up neatly......I had totally forgotten about it until I saw the giant wad of green, stringed, lights.... Ooops.
I love how you do an ornament for the kids every year. I do that as well and it is so much fun to pull them all out and remember what the kids were like at that age!
