Christmas Decorating

    

Helping Reagan decorate the tree.

Grandchildren have a unique way of decorating--a Bible next to the Santa suit!!

                Our grandchildren help us decorate our tree every year.  When our first grandchild, Gabriel, was two years old we started this tradition.  Each grandchild joined the fun when they were about that age.  Noah then Adam then Reagan and in a year or two Rylee will join us.  

                It is always so interesting to see where they put the ornaments.  Sometimes they want to put all the bells together, sometimes all the angels together or all the red balls.  And, they know if we move them!

               I love family traditions.  I love the wonder in a child's eyes as they see the tree become beautiful with the "special" ornaments.  They remember year to year the ornaments and take care not to break them.

              This year Papa and I have a present for each grandchild that is our way of "giving" to our community.  I think they will really like our special gift.  Maybe it will be a new tradition.
