Starting and passing on Traditions

For years and years i remember how exciting it was when mom and dad brought out the Christmas ornaments and we went to buy a tree. Mom would hand us the ornaments while lin and i took turns hanging each one in the perfect spot, while dad would be sure to tell us where we had a "bald" spot on the tree.
Now this year the traditions have officially been passed down to the babies. Mom and Dad had us over for dinner and to decortate the tree. Mom sat with the box of ornaments, just like with us in the past and handed them one by one to Kyle and Krestyn.
A first i thought they would be to little and now have intrest or not know what to do with them, but boy was i wrong! they knew just what to do and the enjoyed it. They were both so diligent in where they placed each one and SO proud of themselves! Krestyn liked hanging more than one on each branch, man i thought it was going to send my dad into cardiac arrest!
Amazingly enough there were only 2 broken ornaments, kyle broke the first one and in the chaos of trying to pick it up before someone stepped on the broken glass Krestyn broke her ornament.
They lost interest in about 30 minutes, so Mom finished decorating later, leaving all their ornaments exactly where they hung them. The tree looks so good(of course to a mothers eye!) and every time they see it, they walk around pointing to the ones they put up!
So that was a few nights ago, last night we went back over for dinner and to watch Frosty the Snowman. Neither one of the kids are big TV watchers, so I figured again that it would be a lost cause, But they layed on the floor with Pop and watched the whole thing!
After the show we walked them down the street to see all the lights.. And when i say ALL the lights i mean i think these two ladies in these houses literally bought ALL the lights at wal-mart! it is crazy the amount of stuff they have in there yard, but fun! The kids got a kick out of it!
And so the traditions continue, I can't believe how awesome it was to watch my baby decorate that Christmas tree!
