Tree’s Up

Andy has a rule that the Christmas tree cannot go up before Thanksgiving.  So, I like to get it set up on the day after Thanksgiving.  The boys always have a lot of fun seeing the ornaments, playing with them and breaking them before they can even get them up on the tree.  Jude was a big helper this year and put up at least a third of the ornaments.  I had a pile of fragile ornaments that I wanted him to put up high (so Asher couldn’t grab them) and non-fragile ornaments that could go on the bottom.  Jude grabbed an ornament and before he could even finish asking if it was fragile, he managed to break it.
