Oh Christmas Tree!

Last year McKenzie really got excited about helping me decorate the Christmas tree and this year was Ben's year to join in the fun.  While the kids lack some of the knowledge about best practices for putting ornaments on the tree they are overall very good helpers and love finding their perfect spot for each one.  Thought that might mean there were multiple ornaments on each branch within their reach on the tree.  It turned out beautifully as always and no one noticed that Mom moved a few around after bed time.

McKenzie finding the Christmas pickle - she loves to search for it each year.  It's like a real life "I Spy" book just for her.


Ben clowning around in the tree.  He insisted on standing on the stool to help decorate.  I'm just glad he didn't fall off and knock the tree over.


Silly kids clowning around by the tree!


McKenzie showing off her favorite ornament - a picture of her during her first Christmas.  And Ben's got his dog to show off.

I love the one with Ben in the tree.
