Getting Ready for Christmas

The day after Thanksgiving we decorated our tree and boy was it a project!  I always forget how many boxes and ornaments I have.  The boys were great helpers, sometimes a little too eager to pull things out of boxes.  We didn't have any broken ornaments, though!  They loved to hang the ornaments on the tree, talk about where they came from and who gave them to them.

Chase peers into the tree-he said he saw something in there.

After decorating the boys tried their hand at photography.  We got some good photos! :)
