Yesterday we went to Ma and Pa's house to help them decorate for Christmas. All the kids still come home for Christmas to decorate. We listened to our favorite Christmas decorating music- John Denver and the Muppet's, had our traditional Christmas decorating dinner-Mango Salsa Soup (Tessa had Mac and Cheese), and had our traditional decorating dessert-hot chocolate, eggnog, and donuts.
Adam and Tessa loved decorating the tree and wasted no time once we arrived!
Everyone got busy fluffing the branches. We are still some what confused as to why we live in Utah and have a fake tree, when we always had a real tree when we lived in California.
Gwen was not a fan of the prickly branches. She doesn't like touching Uncle Ben's spiky hair either.
Matt, Ben, and Katy all tried to distract Gwen with some kid friendly ornaments. She only wanted to play with the dangerous ones.
She was not happy about being the Star.
Tessa did a great job decorating!
Uncle Danny had fun plotting another way to tease Tessa and her cat, Lucky. He had already pretended to hang Lucky with a string of Christmas lights, and then pretended to run Lucky over with a car. At first, Tessa was not amused, but the video he made with the car made her bust up laughing. I told my brothers they were going to have to pay for Tessa's therapy someday.
Tessa got to put the star on top of the tree.
Adam was a good decorator as well.
Aunt Gillian was nice enough to hold onto the kids while they made sure the back of the tree got some decorations.
Gwen did lots of walking! She is getting better everyday!
Eggnog and donuts!!
