While Sam's parents were in town the girls decorated the tree while the men worked in the garage. I set up the tree while the girls were napping and when they woke up they helped me to decorate it. They loved the beads and wanted to wear them as necklaces but finally gave them up to the tree.
Caroline loves the stuffed dog ornaments.
They both helped me hang ornaments. They were given all of the unbreakable ones and the bottom branches were quite unevenly decorated.
Once Katherine realized that I would lift her up to put a breakable ornament up high she only wanted to help with the breakable ones.
They have done a great job with the tree. For the past 4 years we have had the approach of not making the tree a battle zone. I still put it up and it is not behind any barriers. I just put breakable ornaments out of reach and I do allow them to play with the ornaments that are down low. Really their interest in the ornaments only lasts about a day.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I'm always a little apprehensive about the tree and then it's no big deal, especially after the first day. The dog we had growing up was a bigger nuisance about the tree, always trying to get under it and making it rock back and forth (and fall over once).
I love the "Aunt Christy" matching outfits!
Life with 2 has been kicking our butts, so it took us 3 days to get our Christmas stuff out and somehow we still didn't get any pictures. Hopefully it'll get easier with time...
