O Christmas Tree

Well, it is that time of year again! Can you believe it? Last Sunday we put up our Christmas tree and the kids got to decorate it pretty much by themselves. They really liked seeing all the ornaments and finding out where each one came from. The kids finally got to open the ornaments that they chose for this year. Silas chose Diego on a snowboard and Brookie chose Strawberry Shortcake also on a snowboard. Daddy jumped in and helped put the star on just like last year. We thought we would have issues with the tree being undecorated and redecorated over and over, but after the first day Brooke now knows that it looks prettier with the ornaments on the tree. We finally put lights up in our house yesterday, so I am getting into the Christmas spirit! The kids seem excited, but "it's just takin so long" as Silas says. I am looking forward to sending out our Christmas cards this next week. I hope that you all are preparing for Christmas and are enjoying it!!
