Christmas decorating

I've gone back and forth trying to decide if I want a Christmas tree this year and after hearing all kinds of stories about kiddos and Christmas trees, we decided to forgo one again this year. Isaac is just too much of a curious little stinker and I just know he wouldn't stay away from it. I don't want to have to hoist the tree off him several times. I know that would happen. He's a rascal!

Anyway......
Like last year, we went over to my parents' to decorate their tree since we don't have one of our own. I took lots of pictures.

First one of me to prove I was there. I put the ribbon up before the boys started decorating with ornaments.






The gourd was a favorite. It has seeds inside that make a cool noise when you shake it.

Reading Christmas books by the tree.

Pointing at the ornaments, doing a good job of not touching them.

Oops! That didn't last long! Guess it was unfair of us to ask him to not touch them when he had just been allowed to while decorating.
