For the first time ever, we decided to get an artificial tree. We thought it would just be easier without having to worry about the sap, water, and dry needles falling everywhere with the possibility of the boys messing with it.
I absolutely love doing these kinds of things with the boys because of how excited they get! Joseph was SO excited and was very focused and into the whole process. He put the majority of the decorations on the tree himself, except for the ones up high. When he was finished, the ornaments were all clumped in a couple of spots, right where he could reach. I told Michael that night that the perfectionist in me really wanted to spread all those ornaments out, but then the mommy side of adores those little clumps of ornaments because it was Joseph's own creation. So our tree is still just the way he did it.
Andrew has done surprisingly well with all the decorations and tree! I expected he would be messing with the tree constantly but he has done great!
So fun sharing these fun memories with my boys and can't wait for Christmas day next week!

Hopefully this video will show, but this was a cute one of Joseph decorating the tree and Andrew playing around. :)
