Oh Christmas Tree!!

Every year we take the kids and they get to pick out their own ornament for that year. They always love it. Then we come home and pull out their own CHristmas Tree.
They get to decorate the tree with all of their ornaments. It's been a fun tradition and this year I let them decorate the whole tree. I didn't touch one thing.


Dave did have to lift them up to help them reach to the top of the tree.


The week before Thanksgiving we got up our big tree and decorated it. The kids helped me with it too but it's so big that I have to do most of it. It was so fun to do this year though. I did it a little different and I absolutely love it. I think it turned out good considering I'm not the most talented decorator.


I just love Christmas time and how the Christmas tree lights up the house and gives it that warm cozy Christmas feeling.
