The kids hung all of the ornaments on the tree themselves. They are a bit clustered but I couldn't bring myself to rearrange it. The kids have them in special places and when I look at it I can't help but remember the kids excited exclamations of "mine are all right over here" and "the santas are all together" and "I love this one the most."

| The kids LOVE this '12 Days of Christmas' quilt Nana made and are often found singing through the whole song. |
 |
| We also have enjoyed our new Nativity Set brought back from the Holy Land by my parents What a beautiful reminder of the real meaning of Christmas. |
The decorating that
took the longest was doing the outdoor lights. We hope to add some more
lights over the years, but this is a good start for now.

| Tree and bushes |
The Children have
also been busy adding more decorations and I am sure that we will have
plenty by the time Christmas rolls around.

| #2 Boy has had this idea to hang snowflakes from our ceiling for a few months now. He made these and asked Dad to hang them for him. So cute! |
