Oh christmas tree oh christmass tree..... how lovely are all the broken ornaments!
One of my best memories of my youth is all the lovely christmas trees my mother had over the years, many of which she would enter similar ones into the festival of trees. Well we started a tradion in our own family or should I say Danielle had years ago that each year we have a kids tree that has new hallmark ornaments placed on them each year along with all the past old ones.
Well it seems this year that the tree has found it's way into the hands of Brayden, and being a boy.....well use your imagination!! Two years ago we started using plastic ornaments due to Trina and her obsesion with the tree, well now Brayden loves those as well as all the other ornaments. So slowly but surely the tree is loosing it's lustre.

I never realized how hard it was to try to decide what to get for the older kids, Maddy and Austin. We ask them what they want for christmas and they just give us that blank stare. So now we have decided to go to family gifts so to speak. They each get some new clothes, just what you want as a kid huh, but then we give them a larger family type of gift. This year it will be a new game system that they all can play, including the little ones. I must have really caused my parents to struggle with all my requests as I got older.Snow has finally fallen here, Brayden just as with everything else doesn't care if he is out barefoot in it, he just loves to play and loves to make a mess, mostly of himself. Sydnee has yet
to be out in the snow, she watches her brother and sister and probably wonders what they find so fun about a whole bunch of white stuff. Trina lvoes the snow, she can't stop playing in it as long as someone is outside with her. Everytime I go out to shovel she wants to be out there and start a snowball fight, anything to be able to throw snow. We tend to have a very busy christmas eve and christmas day especially with the older two and the time with their dad. We will keep you updated as the holiday season progresses but for now be content with the "is it christmas yet" that is the most prominent question around our house.
