Usually we decorate our tree on the same day we put it up. This year it took us a few days to get around to it. Luckily, my kiddos are getting big enough that they know exactly what to do when we pull out the decorations. It was difficult, to say the least, for them to wait until Chad got the lights on the tree before they started hanging things up.
Pratt did the honors this year of putting the star on the tree. He didn't really get the utility of the spiral that allows the start to sit on the top of the tree, and came up with his own method. Aimee just about went nuts! She asked several times if she could fix it. When we told her no, she finally asked if she could please put it on next year. I think she has a touch of my OCD...
I thought that perhaps this year we could decorate the entire tree. By the time Christmas was over there was nothing in arms reach left (or in Hobbs reach). We knew of a few balls being broken, but learned that Pratt must had discarded the evidence effectively, because about half of the balls that went up didn't make it back into the storage containers. We bought some new decorations after Christmas on clearance, but I with May adding to Pratt's mischief next year, we will definitely stick with the top half decorating!
