Tree Decorating Party

It was so nice to have the A-Team in town for the Tree Decorating Party this year. We will miss them at Christmas, but this was such a great way to start the season. Jboy got all dressed up for the event, and started the afternoon off by checking out the decorations Sister would add to the tree.
Smudge decided to enjoy a snack and a snuggle with Amma before getting to work.
Then it was time to join the Aunties and help straighten out the branches on the tree.
Goodness, that was thirsty work. Time for a drink while the Aunties give the tree a few last minute touches.
Auntie Puff seems to be having a great time.
Amma gets into the act and helps with the garland,
then Mommy helps with the lights.
Time out for a family picture...
or two...
then it's back to work.
Smudge is very intent on placing the ornaments...
in the perfect spot.
Don't you just love her arrangement?
It took a group effort to get Santa placed on the top of the tree.
then Amma had to help Smudge with a few more last minute additions...
before Daddy helped Jboy check out the finished product. I think he likes what he sees.
Smudge decided she needed a laid-back look at the tree when it was all done.
