Over the last few years I like to have help decorating our tree. Brianda, Eli, Sophia and Tinoly help to put up the ornaments. Every year we play "Hide the Pickle". It is an old German custom where the parents would hide a pickle ornament on the tree for the kids and once found they would receive a prize. As the kids got older I had to get smaller and smaller pickles for them to find. Eli being the youngest has the biggest pickle. Sophia's is half the size and Brianda's is a quarter of the size. Deo hid the pickle for Brianda this year which took her awhile to find. Last year when I hid it she found it in 2 seconds. Sophia found hers pretty quickly and Eli took a bit to find his.
Eli, Sophia and Brianda pose in front of thier masterpiece! Thank you Pereira's for your help!

Love the story of the tree tradition. That sounds like fun. We have German friends back in NJ and believe it or not when guests arrive they light the CANDLES on their tree. Really!! That was the old traditional way when the grew up in Germany. Needless to say they are very careful !
Say hi to all and I love the pictures
