We put the tree up this week it was alot of fun both kids really got into it and loved doing it my faviorte part was how all the ornments where clumped together at the bottom because of short people helping out we had to spreed them out after they went to bed they where so proud and wanted to know where each ornment came from i love how we are starting to make our own traditons this year.
