Wednesday: Christmas decorating

Today we started decorating for Christmas.  There's really way too much Christmas stuff up now (and we still have one bin to go), but the boys are at a perfect age.  They want to help put the stuff up and they can do some of it themselves.  So...we go a bit overboard.

It's an old tree and some branches are falling off.  We gave them to the cats, hoping, rather fruitlessly, that they'd choose on those instead of the actual tree.

We did have to take down a lot of the Halloween/fall decorations.  While I made a few of these, the boys are getting very good at making things that you can tell what they are.

Also, the last two weeks saw a significant decline in O:CtH work due to a busy week and now no school.  Therefore, I'm initiating O:CtH - Christmas edition, in which we get rid of some of the decorations that we never put up anymore.  A bit sad, but we also keep getting new things and it's time.
