We were really late putting up the tree this year. We usually get our tree and put it up the day after Thanksgiving, but with all that's going on we got really behind. But we finally went and picked out a great tree from McCoy's trees down the street. We've bought trees from Home Depot before, but it's so much more fun to get them from small local places. The trees are in much better condition. One of these years I want to go in the woods and cut down our tree. Maybe next year. :)
We always watch "Mr. Kruger's Christmas" while we decorate. The kids did most everything this year and despite most of the decorations being on the bottom half of the tree I think it looks great. Jacob redecorates the tree on a daily basis anyway so it doesn't matter.

I love the no flash photos where the blurry spots are the kids running
around putting ornaments on the tree. |

We have tons of Christmas books that we only get out at Christmas. The kids spend a lot of time
reading them and it's more fun because they are only out once a year. |
The next night Christopher had scouts. These are all his scout buddies. They wrote a note to someone they admired and then decorated cookies to give to them. Christopher chose to give his to the bishop. They also made this cute Christmas tree with ornaments that symbolize the true meaning of Christmas. It has a cute story to go with it. Christopher read it for us when we got home.
