And the decorating...

Clearly it was a Sunday when we decorated our tree. :)
Thomas was very interested in all the ornaments and especially loved the couple bells we have. We let him have the little 3-foot tree for his room, and he kept spiriting ornaments off the big tree to put on it. 
 TJ was a diligent helper and kept asking for more ornaments to put on the tree. He definitely favored the "cluster method."

 When TJ was (near-ish) Jojo's age at Christmas, we chose a smaller tree and set it on a table to keep it out of reach. Apparently we've relaxed, because we didn't even consider that this year. We did keep the breakable ornaments out of Jojo's (and TJ's) reach, but beyond that it really wasn't an issue.
 Who needs ornaments when you've got easy access to a step stool?!?!

Ed handled the star and hanging ornaments at the very top, as I couldn't reach it from the step stool. I did the lights, with "help" from TJ, because I like them to be more dense and more woven into the entire tree than Ed does. It only took us a couple years of me complaining about how he did the lights to figure that out, and now we're both happy. :)
