Trimming the Tree

We always put our Christmas trees up the day after Thanksgiving.  This year, since we spent time shopping some of the Black Friday sales, it took us two days to finish.  Even though both Camden and Ciera were allowed to hang only certain ornaments, they loved helping me decorate the trees.

Ciera said her favorite ornaments are the Santa and the fisherman on the tree in the family room.  She loves to pull the red string to make their arms and legs move up and down.  The ornaments on that tree are my favorite as well, because many of them were bought while we were in Germany.

Camden said his favorite ornaments are the ones we have made (we try to make a new ornament every year).  Out of those, his favorite was when we stuck white feathers into clear bulbs.  He said he also really likes the glass santas, snowmen, icicles and candy as well.  All of those are on our tree in the living room.

Their favorite part about trimming the trees was finally setting up the train.  Camden kept asking to put the train up before we finished decorating the trees.
