Anne Grace was more than excited about decorating the tree. Unfortunately, as most of us know, the prep work to get to the exciting part takes forever in the mind of a three year old. The tree stand, the best side of the tree, is it straight yet, the lights, the lights, break for dinner, and the lights again...it all takes too long. Anne Grace tried to be patient. Finally it was time to hang the ornaments. She was most excited about hanging her ornament and Jane's. Ornaments were strategically placed such as the mouse hung close to the floor because "that's where mice like to be." We had apple cider and homemade pumpkin bread during the decorating and Anne Grace asked us to cheer one another with the mugs.
Some of my favorite branches with many ornaments on each. The poor branches were carrying a little too much weight so some rearranging was done later. (However the next morning I was quizzed on why the ornaments were not where she had placed them.)

That was soooo Jack and James today. I thought they would self combust before we had everything ready. We actually had them put a few on- them put them to bed. Joey then took them off and put the lights on the tree. Tomorrow we will decorate! Not sure how getting ready in the morning is going to go given their intense desire to decorate the tree. I best prepare myself for some tears!!!
Anne Grace is adorable and I miss her terribly!
