My children are super excited for the holidays. I've been slow to drag out the boxes of Christmas decor, because we don't really have places to put all the stuff. (last year we had a super great mantle and table and ledges....) We finally brought out the little fir grove last week. This is the arrangement we used as a tree while in school, since we usually traveled to our parents houses during the holidays, and couldn't afford a live tree. We now live in the land where people get a tree permit and head to yon' hills to chop down their own token of Christmas spirit. (After reading Lindsay's commentary, I'm glad we went to the kmart lot!)
Anyway. We got the stuff out Saturday night, and the kids couldn't pull objects out of the tubs fast enough. (translation: mess and mom trying to remain calm). We corralled most of the stuff before bed and snuggled them down with promises of decorating the next day.
We awoke to excited giggles and trees decorated by A. She was so proud to have put all the ornaments she could find (plus the flower arrangement she pulled apart) on the trees.
I asked C what he helped with. He informed me, "The mess." Referring, I assumed, to the havoc wrecked at the base of the trees, and throughout the room. He did a very good job.
