Maile’s quite experienced now at decorating the Christmas tree (2009, 2010, 2011) – so she has a whole game plan she implements.
Step 1: Take all the ornaments out of their boxes and ask Mommy (and Daddy) what they are
Step #2: Lay all the ornaments out on the table so we know how to pick the right one fo the right location on the tree
Step #3: Carefully add the ornaments to the tree one at a time
Step #4: Try not to get eaten by the tree!
Step #5: Marvel at the beautiful tree you created!
P.S. - Every year we buy a family ornament (and one for Maile) - this year marks a pretty big milestone, our last with just 3!
