Christmas decorating

We usually have the tree up the first of November. The kids have been asking me since October when the Christmas tree was going up. 

Well yesterday was the day. Since there are so many kids they worked in groups decorating. One group got the tree put together, another one hung the stockings, and another strung the lights. Then the kids lined up and they all got to put 6 ornaments on the tree.

So now that the Christmas decorations are all up the kids can hardly stand to wait for Christmas. This morning at breakfast Jose was giving the kids a countdown as to how many more days til Christmas.
