Christmas Tree

The kids wanted to decorate the Christmas tree for FHE after Thanksgiving.  I like to have my holidays not overlap so it bugs me when Christmas is up before Thanksgiving is over.  But we decided this would be a fun activity.  Everyone pitched in and we had fun looking at all the old decorations and ornaments.  Courtney was really excited to get it all done and she was fun to work with.

This is from our Las Vegas Ward when Ethan was in Nursery.  What a cute kid..then and now!

Ethan quickly became bored and read his book unless we were bugging him to get up and help with the tree.

One thing that kind of bugs me is all the extra clutter that decorating brings to the house.  But the end result is pretty neat.

 

Usually I am the one to break an ornament but the honor this year went to Courtney!  I had to document that it wasn't me for once!  The only bad part was that it was a glitter ornament that we made last year so there was glitter EVERYWHERE.

The tree turned out great.

Merry Christmas from our family.  Yes, it is a weird photo.  Courtney is trying to look crazy and Ethan looks like he is about to do something naughty.  But that's our life.
