The girls and I have always enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree, something we do together each and every year. Sidney had to miss out on a part of the tree decorating (her social calendar is getting busier by the day!). So Regan and I got started early. As she gets older (and taller) she has been able to help with the lights in addition to the ornaments. Something I really appreciate!
Sidney was able to add many ornaments when she arrived home. Her placements were perfect and sweet Lincoln did great at just watching. Thank goodness!
(Only lost 3 ornaments this year....so far).
Seems that every few years, we have a good "tree story"....and this year we added another.
The thing started tipping. Despite the mother of all tree stands I had to buy 5 years ago while Ryan stood holding up the tree waiting for my return (he still can't laugh at that story like I can!).
After we had it all nice and decorated, we sat down for dinner and noticed "it's tipping"!
Crap.
Crap.
Ryan stood holding it, while I unscrewed the bottom in an attempt to reposition it. While still decorated (with only German glass ornaments!). I had enough smarts to take off the 2 most prized ornaments that I inherited from my grandmother. And snap a quick picture.
With pine needles covering my head, I surfaced from beneath the tree and disaster was avoided!
These three are so very loved and are our reason for celebrating this Christmas season!
