Little Christmas Elves

We finally had the time to put up the Christmas tree. A little later than our usual EARLY November, but still early enough.

Daddy had brought up the tree on Saturday but we were too busy, with late golf game, ballet, dropping Ko-ko at Abby's house and a quick run for groceries and dinner for Ah Kong and Ah Ma. 

So today, he got the tree base and stem all set up and left to quickly finish some work, while the two of you put up the branches. You both agreed to have the colors blue, silver and white for this year.

When that was done, the 3 of us started to open the branches/leaves. Then the next job was mine; putting up the lights. Mei-mei helped me unravel the lights as we walked round and round the tree to put the lights on. We turned on the lights to make sure that they were all working and then moved on to the ornaments. We had to go through the ornaments to determine which would be allowed on the tree this year. 

While Mei-mei and I were putting up and arranging the ornaments, the other little elf decided to supervise us from the comfort of the sofa.. in dreamland!!!

And finally daddy made an appearance. He fixed up the wire and extension cords and put on the tree runner and finally the angel at the top of the tree:

Ta-da.. our Christmas tree is up!
