The First Annual Christmas Ball-Making

Those big Christmas balls that are made of a string of lights are our favorite Christmas decor.  Jonathan decided that he and the kids would make one every year as a little tradition, starting with this year.  So he and Mookie went to town doing up the very first one.  Ellison loves helping out her dad, and working with tools, too.




I forgot to show the finished product.  But it was funny, after driving home from somewhere one evening with Ellison, she was very pensive about the ball.  She explained, "Mom, I don't think we should hang our Christmas ball outside this year.  We should wait until next year when we have another one, because I think one ball looks trashy."  Alrighty, then.
