++The Tree++

Once again we took advantage of living out in the Northwest woods to go and cut down our tree locally.  It's always fun at this time of year because on weekends if you drive on the interstate that runs to and from downtown, about 50% of the the cars have trees tied on top.

Claire thought this one would be a good choice as it was just her size!  Maybe when she has her own home it will be ready. 

The winner!

The little one LOVED the ornaments this year.  She loved picking out the purple ones.  She didn't like when we told her to be gentle with the brakable ones though.  "No gentle!  Mine!"

Our workhorse loves this kind of stuff.  He got his step ladder out and proceeded to place about 50 ornaments before he moved it.  He was so proud of his work.  Ir's so fun to see him light up about stuff like this.

This was the third year we had Wyatt place the star.  It's become a fun tradition but I'm not so sure Mark will be able to hold him next year!  Check out here and here.
After a few minutes of decorating, Claire retreated to the chair to talk on her "phone" for a little bit.  Why is it that I can just see this same thing happening in about ten years?
It's so fun to Christmas-ize our house.  The kids enjoy all the little things.  Having kids really does bring this season to life.
