O, Christmas Tree

Almost every morning for the last month...Ben would wake up and say "Is it Christmas Time?" He was SO EXCITED to decorate for Christmas...we usually wait to put up our decorations until after Thanksgiving but since the day after was Nate's Birthday we decided to get started a little early! But, we put the tree up with no decorations and decided to wait until Sunday to decorate it...it was like torture for the kids! They couldn't wait! Nate (as always) found the candy canes and got to work eating those...to keep the peace Benson and I let him have at it...I think this picture is funny because Sammy and Ben are just realizing that Nate is chowing down on candy while they are decorating...funny!


Nate finally put a couple ornaments up...but after each one he would ask for more candy! This kid cracks me up!


We had much debate on whole gets to put the star on...Ben "won" and was very excited!


The final product...I LOVE Christmas Time!

What a pretty tree! I can't wait to get ours up. We usually do it the day after Thanksgiving too but I have to get a few boxes unpacked before I start an even bigger mess.
Hey, now that we live a heck of a lot closer, we really ought to get the kiddies together. I think my boys would LOVE playing with your boys.
