Decorating The Christmas Tree

The kids and their decorations

I came home today in the first real snow of the season. Today was the first time open so that we could decorate the Christmas Tree. Allison and Andrew strung Popcorn on it last night and we finished up everything else this morning.

I love our Christmas Ornaments, especially the yearly Hallmark family ones that we buy every year to put in a family photo. We have them from 2007 to now. The only year we are missing for a special photo ornament is 2006. Time to hit eBay.

I also mention that I received some interesting things like a Diddy Kong amiibo character and Mario Party Star Rush. I won it from a trivia contest on a Nintendo 3DS parent’s group that I’m part of.

I also mention the IllumiBowl is a motion-activated toilet night light. I was sent this to review. There will be a post soon.

Today we put up Eva’s little tree and Andrew’s little tree. These are for their bedrooms but Eva decided that she wanted her’s in the hallway and we were going to put Andrew’s there anyway.

Each year we buy one special ornament for her tree and we are doing the same thing for Andrew. This year Eva has a very special Jessie (from Toy Story) ornament and Andrew has a very cute sled made to look like a pack of Crayola crayons.
