Deck the Halls...

Tonight we went out as a family and picked our Christmas tree. The girls LOVE bringing our tree home each year, and they were all very good little decorators. No broken ornaments...so far. I'm dreading the next few days with Hayden.

Dennis usually has quite a time getting the tree in the stand and straight, but this year we bought a new stand and had much more success! Things started out on a much more positive note than in years past.

Hayden was concerned about Daddy as he tried to get the lights and beads untangled. It did seem like he was slowly losing it...




And this is the face she made when he turned them on...



Here's a glimpse into the mind of a one year old...

"Ooo, what is this thing that makes such a fun noise? I LIKE it!"



"Look, Daddy! A new toy!"



"It's pretty and makes noise - I bet it tastes delicious..."



Kaiya "helping" untangle the beads...





My cheesy Emmie...



Claire Bear...



Hayden making Emmie pretend to drink out of a candle holder...she was very entertained...



Sleepy Hayden, went and got the binky and caterpillar and came in to tell us "nigh night". I took that as a clue that she was done and off to bed she went...



It was Emmie's turn to do the star this year...



Claire's reaction to Emmie getting to do the star this year...



The finished product...







Merry Christmas!!!

How fun! I had to do our decorations by myself. Jared was studying and K was screaming in her crib. Stressful to say the least, even with a prelit tree. But yours turned out beautiful!
