This year, Justin Trudeau's family is once again taking Christmas tree decorating to new heights just to get the tree topper on it.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau posted a photo on Instagram on December 19 of her husband balancing their youngest kid on his shoulders as little Hadrien puts the star on top of the tree.

Trudeau has one of his hands on Hadrien's leg to keep him steady but it's still a marvel that they pulled this balancing act off.

This isn't the first time that the family has risked it all to get the star on top of the Christmas tree.

Back in 2018, Grégoire Trudeau also shared a photo on Instagram of them decorating the tree.

It was so tall that Trudeau had to stand on a built-in shelf next to it with Hadrien sitting on his shoulders just to put the topper on.

They did that even though they had a step ladder.

Earlier in the week before the 2020 tree photo, Grégoire Trudeau posted snaps of her and the kids making festive Christmas cookies.
