Christmas Tree

I finally got the Christmas tree up. Poor Jakob had been asking me everyday since Thanksgiving if I would put the tree up. So one of the days that they were in school I dug the tree out of storage. You see I had to wait until they were gone cause that is were their presents are. Shhh don't tell them. Thanks.



Next I got the lights on and some of the odds and ends ornaments that I like to still put on the tree. Then I waited until the boys go home from school.


Here is Seth with his new ornament for the year. It's Thomas the Train hauling a Christmas tree. Each year I try to get them an ornament that goes with something they did or liked in the year. Cheryl was able to find Jakob a soccer player at a craft sale she went to. It has his name and year on it.

I decided this year that I would have the boys put up all their own ornaments on the tree. I guess this was a mistake on my part. Cause some of the ornaments are glass and our floor is tile. So when they get dropped they don't bounce. I had just gotten done telling Jake that he had to be very, very careful he dropped his first baby ornament. I blued it back together as best I could. But it shattered so much that there is now a hole on one side.

Here is the tree all done.

And last but not least here is my ornament. It's Duck Dodgers and Marvin the Martian. I do have another Marvin ornament, but didn't have a picture of it yet.
