Let the decorating begin ~UPDATED

This Saturday, with much help from Gabbi, we got our decorations down from the garage attic and started putting up our Christmas decor, starting with the tree.

While we decorated the tree Isabel played inside the tree box…for a little while anyway.

Gabbi and I worked on “fluffing” the branches while Gino did the lights.

Isabel waiting patiently for us to get through so she could put up ornaments.

Isabel and Gabbi  just kicking back while we decide what to do next.

Gabbi did the honors of putting the bead garland on.

Afterward we were finished for the night because it was time for Isabel to go to bed and she really wanted to decorate the tree (that’s her favorite part!). So we waited until the following afternoon to finish decorating the tree…which reminds me, I need to get a finished picture. Isabel did a great job (followed by Gabbi who spread the ornaments out a bit and me putting up the fragile ones!).

UPDATE! I finally took a photo of the completed tree…
