We do Christmas trees a little different in our house. For many years my mom has collected glass ornaments that are now hard to find in stores. Read: They break really easily. The kids don't get to help with that tree very much. But we also put the "kid tree" upstairs where we can see it every morning when we wake up. As years have passed, ornaments from grandparents, handmade mangers with baby Jesus, and frames with baby faces have collected in the boxes and get hung by the kids. Those have been some of my favorite memories - unwrapping each ornament and finding the perfect place to hang it on a branch. This year, though, I was content to stand back and snap pictures, helping occasionally when a little one couldn't reach their perfect spot. Of course, the time wasn't without its arguments, but it was fun. Memories were made, and the feeling that Christmas truly is right around the corner has fully set in.
Lovin' that bokeh, girl! :)

I always had a kid tree and my tree. Now my kids are in college and my daughter likes to do the tree. It isn't 'mine' anymore but I love that face that it is my grown up daughter's.
