Jeff's Birthday~
Nov. 16
...because of so much going on in mid-November, we really didn't have time on his day or the days surrounding his b-day to do a family celebration. So the kids and I, tried to surprise him at his office before lunch. (He was getting ready to dump some mop water so he was at the back door to the church.) We used Reese's Peanut Butter Trees for his "cake".

Decorating for Christmas~
Nov. 30

The first ornaments hung are our birthstone angels, and from youngest to oldest.

The Finished Tree
I decided this year to leave it exactly as the kids decorated it. No added bulbs or decorations. No rearranging to even things out. It is the kids' tree.
Do note that Kaylie kept her "family" of ornaments very close together. (Towards to bottom, front on the right side.)

I was just sitting, look at our tree last night... for the first time, I also didn't move any ornaments after the kids decorated... and you can tell how tall Caleb is! :) All his ornaments are close together on the bottom 1/3 of the tree! But I love it!
