Last year, our tree was only half decorated. I did the lights, but there were no ornaments (which is so disappointing, I know). I wasn’t sure if Kaya would try to knock all of them off the tree, but the real reason we didn’t even finish decorating was because I was just too exhausted and dealing with morning sickness. Now you know! I still feel like it wasn’t a very good reason (and come on, I had done the lights already… that’s the hardest part)!

So this year, I was even more excited to carry on our true tree-decorating tradition. We had the Michael Buble Holiday radio station on, and Kaya was actually old enough to help! She helped hang a lot of the snowflakes and bells (all Dollar Tree ornaments from our first married Christmas)! Sadly, Kaelyn was already in bed when we got started, so it was a party for just the three of us. I’m looking forward to her helping next year (and yes, it’s totally crazy to think about her being that big)! I love colorful lights so much.(and Kaya loves this singing Snoopy so much!)The next day (when Kaelyn was awake), we took the most crooked family photo ever. Oh well. Jax also walked right in front of the camera when it was going off, so at least there isn’t a dog bum in your face. See, the photo seems pretty good after all!
