We put up our tree the night of Thanksgiving... what a task that was! The boys loved it.... they were emptying boxes, taking ornaments on and off the tree, throwing stuff around the room, fighting over certain ornaments..... but finally we finished putting everything up and only broke one ornament in the process! We let Andrew and Matthew hang all the ornaments and they hung them all in one tiny part of the tree until the branches were drooping over. Andrew kept saying, "Our tree is looking great!" It was a lot of fun to see them so excited but not so fun to deal with the stress of putting up all your Christmas decorations! This is definitely not a favorite for Rick or myself, but I am happy the boys had so much fun! We know these are special memories!
We knew it was going to be a frustrating process when wrestle-mania started inside the Christmas tree bag! They rolled around in this thing forever.... both boys are inside the bag in this picture!
What a happy Elf-- Santa would be so proud!

Andrew LOVED hanging ornaments on the tree!
Andrew was so excited about the tree! When he woke up the next morning, the first thing he said was "Is the tree still up?"
Matthew never misses a photo op!
"Seriously, mom.... I can't touch this stuff for a month?????"
At the end of a very long night this was the best picture we could get of the boys. We were all tuckered out.... although Andrew looks like he is still ready to party :)
