Fa la la la la, la la la la!

We have once again decked our halls.  I have been trying to do a little bit at a time this week.  Having a busy two year old, who gets in to everything, makes things a little more difficult, but he is also a lot of help. 
Depite the fact that I had to remind him over and over again, to "be careful" or "don't touch,"  he had a fabulous time helping me decorate the tree this year.  It was so exciting for me to have him help.  He was as gentle as could be, and was so proud of himself.
I was able to stand on the ladder and have him hand me things for the top of the tree, and he also held the strand of lights and fed them to me....something, Joey would never do. (ha!) I always put  my "collectible" ornaments on first so that they do not clash against another placed ornament and get broken, and so, after that, it was on!  He opened the tub and away he went.  Most of the ornamets were placed on the same branch, all along the bottom of the tree, but I just let him do it and moved them when he was not looking.  He was so proud of himself, clapping and throwing his hands in the air, yelling, "Yaaaaay!"  This mom was all smiles.  Look at Mills' creation (wink, wink).....
