I have my Willow Tree nativity and two nativities from my childhood. I have a few other small decorations the kids have made over the years, a few garlands, and my grandparents' camels that they got in Bethlehem. That's it. This year we got Rylie a small tree with unbreakable ornaments. Amazingly enough, she has not touched either of the big trees! She is into EVERYTHING else in the house, so I can't figure out why she isn't messing with the trees. Matt loves to put lights up outside, so he did a bunch of outside lights.

We put up our tree every year and I like something on my front door for when I drive up. For a week our tree has only had lights on it! We will see if we get to it. My 10 year old dances in the Nutcracker. That keeps us hopping this time of year. A family friend gave us really beautiful cross stitch stockings for each of our children. Those go up every year. I'd rather spend time baking cookies with my girls than decorating - so that is where we spend our holiday preparation time.CailinMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286856318936072850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980635032314035803.post-75089312807772776692015-12-06T00:32:57.337-06:002015-12-06T00:32:57.337-06:00My almost-16-year-old is King of decorations at ou...My almost-16-year-old is King of decorations at our house. Every year, out comes Cosmo (so sorry we have three ladders and each has its own name, I hate too-tall Larry) and my youngest jumps up to get the lights hung everywhere inside. We began a tradition last year of going to a tree farm, and he helps set that up, lights and ornaments. His 19-year-old sister can't keep up with him and often misses out on hanging ornaments because we blink at our hyper fellow and it's done. We have so many comments of how beautiful it is and it is nice for my son to hear. We do not have outdoor electricity so unfortunately we do not decorate the outside. Interestingly, I have waxed and waned with the decorations of life. Used to go all out, then went a long time while the last two were growing up where I did minimal. Kind of heading back into the all out again as they are growing and helping. Pam H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06705850646784709406noreply@blogger.com
