Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Like I mentioned in my last post, Saturday after Thanksgiving was crazy and Sunday we didn't make it home until 9 and by then we were all still just not able to even think about trying to get ready and head to church so we rested. That night Mark and the kids decided we should really do something with our day so they brought out the Christmas tree and set it up. Not that you could really tell they were excited, I think they were still pretty worn out.

Decorating the tree a few days later was much more to their joy...

Ryan was proud to help - he created his own little corner of Christmas on the tree... we ended up having to spread some of them out a bit though.

Alicia was happy to find her special ornamant from Grandma with the reminder of our Christmas there two years ago.

Both kids begged to be allowed to sleep under the tree from then until Christmas... we comprimised and said they could have Christmas Eve.
