Trimming The Tree

The one thing I realize year-after-year ... its hard to let your kids help trim the tree.  They place all the ornaments in the same spot (about 3.5 feet from the ground and on the same branches as one another).  They love doing it and its hard not to smile as they ask about each ornament we pull out, or start to remember ones from previous years.  However, the perfectionist inside almost dies as they clutter them all together on one branch ... knowing that this tradition is just for memories and as soon as they go to bed I'll be removing every ornament they placed and putting it somewhere else :)
