Trimming the Tree

I feel like I'm traveling back in time 

with these blog posts.

Sorry for the reverse timing,

but I was either too busy getting ready for Christmas,

or my headache was too bad 

for me to post on the day the photos were taken.

I'm making up for lost time this way!

Decorating the tree was a group event.

We found a broken ornament in one of the boxes,

so Mommy found herself with the unexpected job

of just trying to keep little fingers away from the broken glass.

With mommy distracted,

that meant the decorating by the little ones was a free for all.

Thankfully Daddy, Nanny and Poppy were all there

to help and supervise. 

The tree was beautiful in the end

and the girls LOVED it.

So did their mom!

Sadly,

I'm still learning how to use my new camera.

That means that I didn't use the correct setting 

to take the Christmas tree lights into consideration.

Blurry photos were the result.

Clear focus was lost,

but the love was not!

Piper gets to put our snowman on the top of our tree every year!

Of course, Elliotte couldn't be left out.
Her jumping and screaming "Uppy Daddy!" were our subtle hints
that she wanted a turn too!

This is another favourite photo of mine.
These two have a very special bond.
I love seeing them share moments like this!

Monkey See - Monkey Do!

Piper and Nanny were decorating machines!

Look!
I actually got away from the broken ornament box in time to actually hang an ornament!
This ornament was Elliotte's special godchild ornament
from her godfather, Ben!

The only member of the family who refused to help decorate...
so we decorated him instead!
