when you let kelly help decorate the tree...

you'll get an organized...
like things grouped w/ like things kinda tree :)

these 2 gingerbread girls were kelly's & kate's ornaments from last year...
i buy everyone an ornament each year & try to think of one that epitomizes them for that time....
last year kate was a little chubby copy-cat kelly...
& kelly...she started to sprout, become a little kid (***tear***)....
i found these & i swear i did a jig in the store...they were perfect for what i was thinking.
ryan's last year was a lizard ("wizard" as he would say)...go figure :)

& yes...our tree does have 52,568,892 ornaments on it

& i love it that way...

happy friday!!!

We're decorating our tree this weekend...it's always a wonky mess b/c I let the kids do it but I love it that way. 75% of the ornaments are homemade or handmade. I have friends who do the themed bows and all one color gorgeous trees - but I don't think I could go a year without pulling out my lovely ornaments. I miss them!!!

awwww we do the ornaments too. i buy for my mom and she buys for me and they are always something relating to the year. we give them to each other on the night we decorate out tree. it's fun to see all my ornaments since i was born. love that tradition!

hey, i have 52,568,892 ornaments on my tree too!!!!
what a coincidence!
and i hear ya about that cluster thing goin' on. when sarah decorates (maybe now that she's older it won't be so bad) she hangs ALL the ornaments in like a 2 foot square area on the tree. balls, special ornaments, beads... you name it! all squished together for maximun decorating impact. i have to laugh!
enjoy your tree!

Oh, a tree already, what a great feeling, can't wait to start with that. But here we give the floor to Sinterklaas first. After his B-day on 5 dec we'll start preparing for christmas.
