We love decorating our Christmas tree. Our cheap Walmart tree is beginning to show its age, but it still decorates up nicely. This year the top half of our pre-lit tree had stopped lighting up. I spent a long time trying to fix the strand of lights, but I finally gave up and just put a new strand on top of the broken lights.

Abby and Oliver were both super excited to help decorate, and between the two of them it didn’t take long to get all of our ornaments on the tree. Unlike previous years, they were really good to spread the ornaments out. I sort of miss having one branch with all of the ornaments on it!

The best part of decorating our tree is that the kids get to redecorate it each day. They love to move the ornaments around each morning and find a new spot for their favorites. Overall, I think our tree looks pretty good.

After decorating our tree, we turned off all of the lights and gathered together to sing a few Christmas carols. Oliver is a great singer and he sang out loud and clear, even when he was unsure of the words. Abby danced along beside him.
