Decorating the Christmas Tree

 

2012 is going make it into the record books for how fast the Christmas tree went up & how fast it came down!

Joseph is a riot around the Christmas tree, but the damage he does by himself is mild compared to the damage he can accomplish when he enlists the assistance of two rotten cats!

I am sure that the tree went up so quickly because I had three great helpers!  I almost think that I wasn’t needed at all, the two older boys kept talking about their old Christmas memories so that was a big bonus!

Our tree last year had almost all of the ornaments on the top, but this year we decided to switch it up and put most of the ornaments on the bottom!

This picture is really special, but it was probably taken about 1/2 hour before Joseph pulled the tree down on himself a few times :/

Thankfully, we were able to catch it in midair.  Plus it is very light!

Joseph is working super hard on placing his ornaments just right, I think I will have a broken hearted little boy after the Christmas season ends and the tree is no longer up in the living room!

So proud!!!  This is about one hour before I realize I have a very sick little boy on my hands.  He began running a fever of about 103 that night and it continued until Monday afternoon, only giving him Motrin helped him feel better and we did that every three hours!  Felt so bad for our little guy, but his Daddy was sick with the same thing the week before and it just had to run its course!

Admiration!

And this is where you will find him when he is not sleeping or eating despite his Daddy’s best efforts and to Daisy’s dismay!  This boy chases that cat like nobody’s business and he stops to kiss her and getting the biggest grin imaginable when she stays still long enough for TWO kisses!
