Every year the children look forward to digging out all the treasured ornaments and hanging them on the tree. Because Grandma gives them a new ornament every year they have accumulated many varieties. It brings back memories as the children look for their favorites and hang them in just the right spot on the branches.
Dallin carefully reaches the higher branches this year.
It was nice to have Ashton join us. We waited to hang ornaments until she came home from BYU so we could do it all together.
The men (Grandpa and Stephen) are very supportive as they sit and watch. Nice to have the whole family together.
Grandma has fun listening to the children talk about their favorite ornaments.
Easton looks on as Stephen helps place a heavy ornament on a strong branch.
Mom wanted this picture of one of my Nativity sets posted because she really liked this one.
A little too much action for Grandpa!

Hilarious! I love it dad. Such a grandpa. Grandpa James used to scare me after dinners because he would fall asleep with a toothpick in his mouth and snore. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI love your tree. And it's so special that the children put on their ornaments on this tree. I have been trying to figure out what we will be doing. I think next year the girls will have their own mini Tree with some fun things on it, and then we will have the peppermint tree. I think it's fun that mom started this tradition and that she sees the kids excitement. Gratifying!
