Decorating our Tree

We actually set up our tree the day after Thanksgiving.

I'm just s...l....o....w at getting the photos posted.
Benjamin was very interested in the whole process. 
 He jumped right in & helped put ornaments on the tree.
 And then he pulled up his cute little chair & sat in front of the tree.  We let the kids put the tree together & then I hand out the ornaments--they hang them.  
 Ethan sat back & watched this year--I think he might have helped put it together (they actually got it up while I was gone) and he hung one ornament.

 Zane in his "flamin' hot" shirt ;)
 Here is our tree a week later--it is still up, all the ornaments are on the tree, and looks beautiful!  I was a bit worried that Benjamin would pull the tree over at least once--but so far, so good!!  

And amazingly enough, he usually only takes one or two ornaments off the tree--the family picture ones that Rusty makes each year.  And he is only taking those off so he can see his "Emma, ..allum..enna.." & family!
The view of our tree from outside.  It had snowed & the everyone was outside playing in the snow.  Those pictures are coming up next.
