We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year with Steve's family. Once the dinner is eaten we all immediately switch to Christmas mode. We got up early on Friday and went and cut down our Christmas tree. (I was lame and forgot my camera) In the past it has taken Steve a long time to pick out the tree. He loves Christmas and the tree has to be perfect. This year, thankfully he did in record time. We came home put on the lights and decorated the tree later that night. We decided to get it up fast so we could enjoy it before leaving for California for Christmas this year. 
Kyle loved decorating the tree this year. He got so excited about all of his ornaments, especially any with his name or picture on them. I loved how he really got into it this year. I had so much fun just watching the boys get excited about the tree. It's amazing how your kids just make each holiday so much more special and enjoyable.
Jackson would look like this every time we put his ornaments on the tree, he just wanted to carry them around all night. Luckily each fit, and there were many, didn't last very long. 
Finally understanding that the ornaments go on the tree.
The Finished product! Most of the ornaments were on the bottom of the tree, so we had even things out once the boys went to bed that night.

I love it when you post! Let's get together this Winter and get some wiggles out of our little boys. :) Beautiful tree! I love it this year too...because every minute of the day Jake asks if it is Christmas yet. :)
SO much fun!!!
Steve is pretty particular about his trees. I'm glad he found one and it didn't take all day in the freezing snow like it has in the past. That is a good lookin' tree if I must say so myself!
Pretty tree! Cute boys. Jackson looks so much like Kyle.
You would hate to see our trees. I always feel bad for the barren trees. I want to pick them because no one else will and now Andy just gives in. HAHA! Pretty tree though.
Your tree is beautiful! We put ours up right after Thanksgiving too. I still need to get that delicious salsa recipe from you. If you want to just e-mail it to me that would be great, since I teach sunbeams I never see you on Sunday's!! My e-mail is t_tdinkelman@yahoo.com!!
