Decorating the Christmas Tree

Jacob LOVES to decorate for the holidays. He got a big kick out of putting up our Halloween decorations, and would point to the ones he put out and say, "I made that!" So, I knew he would have fun decorating the Christmas tree. I put it up and put the garland on while he was napping, but let him handle the ornaments.

Here he is before we got started. He was really into standing behind the tree for some reason.


Here he is admiring his Mr. Potato Head ornament. Actually, I've had that one for years (bought it for 75% off after Christmas one year) and often wondered why, since I never put it on the tree. Well, it along with a random Toy Story 2 ornament that I used to think was ugly, are now "Jacob's" ornaments. There WAS a reason I bought those things so many years ago!

Ok, this ornament really IS Jacob's. I bought it this year, just for him. It's a Fisher-Price Little People Farm. The doors open & everything.

Decorating behind the tree ... (either that or pulling off ornaments!)

Our finished product! I thought it turned out quite nice, but we never did find the star. Jacob was disappointed about that & wanted me to buy another one. (I ended up finding it when I was putting the tree away. LOL.)
