It took the better part of 2 days to get it up, due to lots of snack breaks, nap breaks, emergency pancakes (we saw the syrup while getting out the raisins. Naturally, we had to make pancakes.) runs to WalMart for more lights, etc. However, it was a blast to do it as a family! Jasper really enjoyed the process, and we really enjoyed watching his enjoyment. He loved "putting" the ornaments on the tree with me; he would kind of throw the ornament toward the general direction of the tree and would eagerly grab another ornament and repeat the process (he was trying really hard to be helpful). Yes, several ornaments did suffer death at the hands of this toddler, but it was a small price to pay to have Jasper's precious help.

saying "hi" to the tree
If ever Jasper forgets about the tree, no matter how briefly, he always runs full blast back into the living room to say "hi" to the tree. And we said many "hi's" and "bye's" to the tree before his nap this morning. How precious.
