25 Days of Christmas - Day 5

My 3 favorite ornaments from my childhood. They used to belong to my grandmother.

For the 5th day of our 25 days of Christmas we put up and decorated our Christmas tree. This day is a huge deal to the kids. It's an all afternoon, into the evening event.

We start off the fun with a little smörgåsbord lunch

Followed with A Charlie Brown Christmas & a few other Holiday programs while I work on the lights.

Then daddy and I put up the tree. I get the lights and beads on just right (or good enough as the case may be)

And then the part the kids have been waiting for all afternoon - the decorations!! Finally :)

She might wanna lay off the eggnog a bit, eh? ;)

Little E really enjoyed examining each and every ornament before hanging them on the tree

Had to be fast to get a picture tonight! 

Having fun decorating our tree so pretty :)

They did a beautiful job! 

Merry Christmas!

Hope you had a fun weekend with your family too. What did you do this weekend to celebrate the holidays?
