It's snowing in the house!

Many years ago, before Dad and I had any kids, I bought plastic snowflakes at Reams to decorate our Christmas tree.  For many years after they sat in a bag in the Christmas decoration box.  Then one year when we lived in the duplex we decided to hang them up on our ceiling.  It was so much fun but for what ever reason we never did it again.  This year the kids decided that we were going to do it.  One Saturday, they quickly did their chores and we brought in the ladder and the kids hung up all of the snowflakes.  It took a lot of trial and error.  In the duplex we hung them up with push pins but we didn't necessarily want a ton of little holes in our ceiling.  First we tried scotch tape but the snowflakes kept on falling down.  Then we tried blue painters tape but the same thing happened.  We finally conceded to use the push pins.  They looked really great and everyone had lots of fun putting them up.
