Jon traveled over the holiday weekend for a spontaneous visit with family, so we trimmed our Christmas tree a little bit early this year. Usually we stick to a tree trimming sometime after Thanksgiving... usually ends up happening on the Friday after since the kids and family are usually around. We had three casualties this year. Two I was able to repair, one was too damaged. (of course I am referring to ornaments and not children :)
Ava was more into it than we had anticipated, and Taylor and Liv were busy little helpers. It was a little stressful, I won't sugar coat it. But it was also very satisfying to see all the children participating and enjoying themselves. What a difference it makes to have four children who can walk as opposed to three! I sincerely mean that in a good way.
I haven't yet dived into the decorating of the rest of the house... you know, mantles, stockings and stuff... I'm not sure I have the energy.
This time of year is so cumbersome, IEPs x2, extra appointments, studies, holidays, birthdays... sigh...
