Decorating the Tree

After the insanity that was locating the tree, it would only be fitting that all 4 sets of lights that we had were not working.  And, of course, that would be after we took the time (almost 40 minutes) to put the lights on the tree.

Jackson and Connor were so excited to be able to decorate. They sat as patiently as they could waiting for the lights to go up.

The beads were the favorite decorating item.  Jackson wanted to help so badly that he couldn't let the beads go.  Tangled beads are a parent's nightmare when you have toddlers waiting to help.  Michael and Jackson exchanged words relative to him not being able to touch the beads.   They made up at the end once beads were untangled.

While Jackson and Michael were "playing" with the beads, Connor focused his energy on getting the stockings up. 

Everybody helped with the bows.
