Saturday night we decorated our tree. We put it in a different spot this year because we are still in the process of remodeling. (Love grows best in small houses: sometimes easier than said. However I wouldn't have it any other way) And due to the fact that Orion is only 10 months David and I decided it would be best to not put the normal Lionel train around the tree. So instead we have put up the little boy's Geotrax train.
Orion was sleeping when we decorated the tree. The normal process is I (Lela) hand each child an ornament and they put it on the tree. This year Justus didn't want to wait for me to give him ornaments, he would just grab one for himself. Matthias really liked putting the bells on the tree. At one point I held up an ornament for him and he said "I don't want that one mommy! I want that one." And proceeded to point to a bell. Notice the cluster of bells in the picture, yep those are his bells. He would get so upset when someone would try to move or touch his bells.
Katie being the only "girl" gets to put the star on each year. This year she didn't even need a chair to reach. She must be growing. :-)
That night at bed time David read to the kids out of the Bible about Jesus' birth and reminded us that it was the star that lead the magi to Jesus. It was a perfect way to end the night.
The next morning I thought Orion would "attack" the tree, however he really didn't even notice it. The only thing he would try to do is get on the train board. He couldn't figure out why he couldn't sit up. And had a disturbed look on his face when his head kept getting poked by the tree branches. Thankfully he hasn't tried pulling the ornaments off yet.
Praying you all have a blessed CHRISTmas!
This is Matthias telling Justus "Don't touch my bells."

I looooooooove the bells!
Oh, Matthais is so funny. "Don't touch my bells!"
Isaac's big thing was using the step stool to put up every ornament. So he really didn't have anything on the bottom branches. Silly kids.
