I thought I would send along some pictures of us putting up our Christmas Tree. We all pitched in to some degree and our decorations wound up with some imaginative solutions and a bit of creative flair.
Every year Mark's part of the decorating is getting the tree to where it doesn't look like it just came out of a box and putting on the lights. I am the lighting assistant, making sure that the lights mostly work and don't get tangled as he puts them on.
Here it is all finished.
My "creative" contributions to the tree trimming. I saw on Martha Stewart the other day a thing on tying together those little balls with some ribbon. The balls we have are old and are starting to loose their paint but from a distance it looks really cute.
I wanted some more red for the tree but was having difficulty finding the ornaments I liked. Then low and behold, the solution was right in front of me. I found these little jingle bell napkin rings at Target. So....is it an ornament, is it a napkin ring, it could be either or both as the need arises.

After a week of just having lights on the tree, Jordan decided he needed to help me get some ornaments on there. Now he wants presents under the tree, can you imagine that!
