The star on the Tree

The kids get to take turns every year putting the star on top of the tree.

Last year was Cooper's turn and he FREAKED out when Clarence held him up high to do it, so Lexi got to step in and do it.

So,... Cooper got another shot at it this year.

Before Clarence got home, we had a "Tree topping drill". I explained everything to him, and showed him what he would be doing. He seemed excited that he had such a big job to do!

So,... the moment of truth came.

We handed the star to Cooper, I got the camera ready, Clarence lifted up, and....

he freaked out and started crying!
So,.... Clarence brought him down, and I gave him another pep talk and he was willing to try one more time. So,... Clarence lifted him up, and.....




HE DID IT! He was a little scared, but managed to do it!

HOORAY!
