I was proud of myself because I managed to put the entire tree together by myself this year! (DJ was at football practice, and I was determined to not wait on him.) I added red deco mesh going in a downward direction (which I usually wrap it around) and also added gold tulle.
We let the girls stay up a little late one evening so we could decorate the tree as a family.
I put the girls in their Christmas pi's (why only wear them Christmas morning?) and G did the honor of placing the very first ornament on the tree.
She really enjoyed seeing all of the ornaments, hearing the story of where we got each one or who gave us each one and hanging them on the tree.
DJ got in the spirit and helped hang a few ornaments too.
And, then we were done!

And, then we were done! I love digging through our ornaments and remember the story behind each one. I was taught by my aunt to always purchase an ornament on vacation, rather than a cheesy t-shirt. We have ornaments from our engagement trip to Chicago and the Sears tower, a football trip to Army and Navy, a trip DJ made to Pearl Harbor, and ornaments from each pregnancy and babies' 1st. We even have mine and DJ's first Christmas ornaments on our tree!
Afterwards, we tried taking some pictures of the girls. I think MC is getting to heavy for G to hold her!
And then we took a few pictures of each of them by themselves.
G really needs to learn to look at the camera, rather than something else in the room. Here she was checking out the t.v.!
MC was mesmerized by this huge thing with twinkling lights. She still rolls over to it and the other day was about to pull on it before I caught her!
