Last Monday we decorated the tree in the dining room. This is a new addition to our holiday decor. I apologize in advance for the quality of the photos. The kids weren't exactly holding still much during this activity.

We bought an artificial tree from Lusaka--only way to go out here--and a few simple decorations to get it started. We're sure to have plenty of kid-made treasures to fill it up as the years go by.

Timmy and Christina helped the kids set up the tree and then Timmy supervised the decorating.

He did a really good job of corralling 16 preschoolers and making them all feel a part of the experience.

After a child or two had a turn at stringing a garland 'round the tree, or adding a bobble or bell, Timmy would call for a round of applause.
Even little bitty Lizzie got to add something to the tree.
Putting the star atop the tree was the grand finale. Queenie was chosen for the honor and loved being hoisted all the way up in the air.
