It is a tradition that the weekend after Thanksgiving, we put up our tree. Since our tree is artificial, we can put it up early and have more time to enjoy it. Marc is tall enough this year to out the top of the tree on!
The first thing we have to do is spread the branches out, Samantha helped me do a couple of them and then she decided they they were too prickly.
Last year after Christmas we found small Christmas trees to put in each of the kid's rooms. Samantha's tree is pink with Disney Princess ornaments. Marc's is a CARS tree, but I have not gotten a picture of him with his yet.
Samantha LOVED helping
to put ornaments on the tree! :)
This was too cute to pass up...I HAD to get this picture, of my two little helper elves decorating our tree together. :)
Samantha had fun looking at the boxes and helping us decide what ornament should be put up next.
It has become kind of a tradition that Marc put the tree topper on, with Daddy's lift of course.
After all of the ornaments, lights, and garland were on, it was time for the little elves to hang some candy canes on the tree. These were easier for Samantha than the ornaments, so she LOVED doing that part. While the were hanging them on the tree, I captured them "eating" one each.
This is ABSOLUTELY one of my most favorite pictures I have ever taken of the kiddos!!!
During the rest of the weekend and week, we finish up the rest of the decorating. We got some of the inside decorations done and the
outside lights done. Our yard "twinkles" and our house is decorated. :)
