"Child Labour"

I know I am being very "auntie", but guess how much this Christmas tree (inclusive of everything you see) costs?




USD $15!!!

Hehe... ya, it was another one of our great garage sale finds. The tree, which has fairy lights attached, was only $8, and the decorations were $7.

And a big thank you to the girls for helping us to put up the tree!

Here is big sister Hannah, using my pom-poms as a hair accessory...

... and younger sister Claral, posing for her sister.
(Yup, Hannah is a budding photographer!)

Due to their heights, Claral was responsible for the bottom 1/3 of the tree, and Hannah the middle 1/3 section. I had the easiest job in doing the top 1/3, which also happens to be the smallest section.

These days, Shisheng and me are on "standby" mode. The girls will be getting a baby brother any day now. So when mummy Linnet calls to tell us to inform us she need to go to the hospital stat, we will be required to babysit the girls... We are really excited!
