We started the Christmas tree this morning! We almost always break it into two days, sometimes consecutive and other times, weeks apart.
The first day – today – is the tree and lights! Its good to break it up this way for us for a handful of reasons. For one, putting the lights up on the tree was always a source of stress growing up. I won’t delve into all the details, but its something that I hold in the back of my mind as something that is going to take extra time and be stressful. That being said, it isn’t really stressful for us, and I’m happy for that š The other main reason we break it up is because its nice for the younger, more terrorizy kids to get used to it being up before we decorate it with all the sparkly things.
The kids were so excited to get the tree up in the living room. They did laps around it and watched Brady as he rounded the tree over and over again, to get the lights super nice! It didn’t need any sections redone. It was perfect the first time around!
I love having the tree up, but truthfully, the snuggles were the best part of it this time around.
The laughs were pretty good too.
It was such a soft, warm, cozy time. I hope they never think they’re too big to snug with me.
