Christmas Decorating

Over the last couple of weeks we have been trying to get all of our Christmas decorating done and I finally finished it all up yesterday. We did however get the most important one, finding and decorating our Christmas tree, done the first weekend of December.

Andi & TJ posing in at our new Christmas tree patch that we found.

Then the fun really begins, trying to get the tree in the stand and in the house...

and we are busy inside rearranging furniture and cleaning as we go...I had lots of help as you can imagine!

TJ loving the Santa hat he found while "helping" get the ornaments out.

Andi & TJ starting to decorate the tree. Note that this is the last picture TJ is in :) He was getting to smart for his own good seeing us put the ornaments on and it was soon his time for bed. Thank goodness and surprisingly he is very good at leaving the tree alone!

Andi wanted an ornament "way high" so Travis helped her out. Actually I think that she just wanted to boss someone around!

Taking it all in and getting ready to start her favorite part- the "pencils"

Mommy and Andi decorating with tinsel.

she started off putting it on once strand at a time...

by the end she was a pro!

Below our some cute pictures of the kiddos and their Santa hats that we got them the other day. They are so cute in them and they both LOVE wearing them. As soon as TJ gets the hat on he thinks that he is pretty big stuff and starts smiling and running around. As soon as Andi gets hers on she almost always has to tell everyone "Merry Christmas" and give them a hug and a kiss!

Andi posing for me with bear as I was trying to get the camera set up. She is almost always in the mood to get her picture taken, even if no one wants to take it!

even though this one didn't turn out right, I still think it is pretty cute....those are "real" smiles if you cant tell!

Andi again posing...on our 2nd night of trying to capture a picture of both of them smiling.

Wow 2 posts in less than a week? I know, I am getting back into the hang out it :) I would have more but I seem to have deleted our most recent fun events...decorating the tree at papa Harold & mama Mari's with Kyle and Steph and then attending Katelyn's 14th birthday party later that evening. Sorry guys!
