Decorating for Christmas

Every year we decorate for Christmas the last weekend of November.  I love having the tree up for the entire month of December so that my children can enjoy it all month long!

In the picture above, Jack is using one of his drum sticks to put decorations on the top of our tree.

Jack was so excited to put the train together that we have under our tree.

Every year we place a bird's nest in our tree.  There is an old Christmas legend which says that placing a bird's nest in a Christmas tree will bring the family good health and fortune for the coming year.

I love this picture of Eve standing on her tippy toes!

Every year Grace places curled ribbons on the tree.  

Eve loves playing with all of the musical Christmas toys and snow globes.

Eve had a great time playing inside all of the empty Christmas bins!  She kept calling herself "Eve in the box."

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.
