2: Watching Thomas get excited about ornaments that belong to him from years past:
3. Seeing Katie express her creativity through ornament placement:
4. Spencer's laugh when he remembers that yet again he has the most personal ornaments on the tree(first baby syndrome):
5. Joe finding his favorite ornaments, this one made by a past (and much loved) Primary teacher Sis. Gentry:
6. Peter finding ornaments he thinks are cool. Look close, this was from our Utah Jazz Fan days. Also, the only evidence left of this ornament, immediatly after this picture it was dropped and broken behind the tree....ooops!:
7. Seeing all the homemade ornaments we've amassed over the years:
8. Peter stretching to reach the highest branch he can:

We were late on the tree thing this year, too... and I still haven't found the box of little-kid-friendly ornaments. Maybe packing them seperately last year wasn't such a great idea. It's wonderful to see all these pictures of your Christmas-tree-ing. Thanks! :)
