Christmas Tree Decorating

Exciting Saturday to put up the tree. Katelyn and Erik were pretty thrilled.

(above: from James' phone...getting into the totes)

But first...

We had to snip all the old lights off the tree (one of those pre-lit ones, but it has had it's day), before re-stringing it. It was kinda fun, at least to do it with James. :)

Then to decorate. :)

Setting up the nativity scene.

Laura was sleeping during the decorating time, but when she came out, she was in awe.

Lots of giggles, and almost overwhelmed to go near it.

But that quickly changed, as she dared to touch the ornaments...but she is quickly learning that it's not a good idea to do that. :)

Katie loving the tree.

Katie decided to play "Mary with baby Jesus". It was pretty sweet.

Our little munchkin during breakfast...she is so cute when she scrunches up her nose. :)
