The day we got home from South Carolina we decided to go ahead and put up the Christmas tree. We got to Lowes right at dark and then it started to rain...just our luck :-) Anyway Sam picked the "perfect" tree and Troy threw it into the explorer. We wanted to wait until the rain stopped to bring it in the house, but the kids were pretty set on decorating so Troy brought it in a got it put in the stand and ready to go. (what a mess!)
The kids were very helpful decorating this year. They help put the lights on and most of the ornaments. On the night we decorate our tree the kids all get their first present- a hallmark ornament. Maddie got a Minnie Mouse this year. (please excuse the awkward smile ;-))
Sam got a John Deere tractor.
And Megan got the Guess how much I love you ornament. Megan also got into everything! I forgot what a baby could do to Christmas ornaments...so she went to bed while we finished.
We did get the tree up and then finished with everything else the next day.
We had a great time. I'm thankful for how much excitement this time of year brings to the kids!

(The 2nd part of the camera story is that Megan dropped my camera while we were busy decorating the tree. The piece that holds the battery broke off, but it is still working! This camera has definately taken a licking and kept on ticking!)
