I'm terrible at tree decorating so I might as well let the kids help out - then I can blame or should I say, credit, them. When we were growing up - it's was my 4 sisters and I that decorated the tree, so I thought it was normal for children to do so now-a-days. Parents don't be afraid to let the kids help out!

I would have scattered the ornaments hither and yon without regard for their feelings, need for friendship, privacy, or leaving any low enough for the bugs & mice. Thank you, Laylee. You have saved me from total tree disaster! You, like your mother, are brilliant! Oh, and I have lots of pretty little ornaments that can be squealed over. Would you like to come help?
