Christmas Decorating

We were very excited to put up the trees this year. Isaiah and Laila have been getting glimpses of Christmas in stores and at people's houses already. We couldn't wait to see what they thought of our trees.

They enjoyed "fluffing" the branches and giving them to Daddy to put on the tree. It was very cute.

The sun made me look really "bright" in this picture. That is Laila's "cheesy" grin that she does every time she sees the camera. She is also saying, "cheese." Can you hear the Christmas music playing in the background?

The tree in our living room and the little worker elves putting it together. (We are fake tree people. I am allergic to the real ones, and they are too much work.)

First tree put up.

We took a hot chocolate break while Daddy and Cody put the lights on the tree.

The day would not have been complete without a Rudolph Sandwich.

The Kids' Tree. They get an ornament from us and from their Grammy every year. They have collected quite a few over the years. Angel on top because that is what I grew up with.

Our tree(Rick and me). We have all of our special ornaments on it. Nothing fancy, just things that mean something to us. Star on top because that is what Rick grew up with. (See the cat, dog, cow decoration on the coffee table? That is Rick's "favorite." So much so that when it plays music we have created a song about Daddy being grumpy. He LOVES musical Christmas decorations) - can you feel the sarcasm in my words? We had to retire one of our favorite musical decorations this year, the Baby Christmas Tree. May he rest in peace.

I love how cozy my house feels at Christmas time!! I also love that Rick plays a big part in getting these decorations up. I could not do it without him!!
