Steps to decoracting a tree

Step 1: Get the tree in from outside, put in tree stand, let sit for 24-48 hours while kids ask about once an hour if the tree is ready to decorate!

Step 2: When the tree branches are finally all down and set, put on lights, while the kids ask if you're done yet and if they can add the decorations. (oh and don't forget to tie the tree to the wall and weight it down for when the cat decides to climb it :) )


Step3: Put the star on the tree. (Allison doesn't this remind you of when we went to the Boundary Waters and had to hang the rope in the tree for the food...my dad pushing us up the tree?)


Step 4: Pose in front of tree with lights and star.

Step 5: THE BEST STEP! Put all the decorations on the tree and remember all the years and the decorations you received and made!

Step 6: Enjoy the tree....
