Trimming the Christmas tree certainly Makes My Monday, especially when 11 of us are taking part in the annual event .First we enjoyed a delicious dinner and then it was onto the decorating.
It also Makes My Monday to see how many people we can actually fit in the 12x14 foot living room.
It is a squeeze, but we can do it! :-)
Luke had a "ball" decorating.
I was so pleased that Patrick wanted to come home to help us with this tradition, no matter how chaotic is was.

Danny can take care of the top of the tree, Mark.-a little bit lower.
Kimberly remembered making these angels last year.
If you look closely at this photos, I can only fit so much into the frame,( I took pictures standing on the couch ) so every photo has arms or legs or the backs of kid's head--mainly because they didn't fit in the camera lens.
Every home should have a nine year old boy--they make life very "interesting"--notice what his shirt says!
It is a beautiful tree, and almost all the ornaments are homemade.
We had a wonderful time. I am soooo sorry Becky was not able to be here, but we saved her favorite ornaments so she could put them on when she gets home.

ReplyDeleteIt's one of our favorite "family bonding" times as I can see it was for you guys, too!
BEAUTIFUL TREE COLLIN'S FAMILY!!
(and we need to get our 9 year olds together..they are sooooooo much alike! I can only imagine how Mark and Waylan would get along! Two peas in a pod! LOL)
Fantastic. Love the pictures and the video. I sure wish my older ones were interested in decorating the tree..no such luck this year. We did it in installments..firs the girls..then Damien when he got home from school and then Joey finished up with his decorations when he got home from school.
