I had my GS Thanksgiving morning, as his mom had to work that day. I let him help decorate the tree. He put all the ornaments he put o, on two branches at the bottom. They are still that way and will be until I take the tree down. He only 2 1/2 so next year we'll do the cookie decorating and gingerbread house. I always did those things with my boys. They're only little once.
