One night after work we loaded the kids up and took them to the Boy Scout troops tree stand. It didn't take long to find the perfect tree. As always, the best part for the kids was watching the Scouts tie the tree down.
The next day we put on some Bing Crosby Christmas Music and set to work in decorating the tree.
Each year we get the kids an ornament that symbolizes something special about that year.
Willem thought it was cool that his had a violin on it.
Ellie was really excited to have a Big Sister ornament.
After a few minutes we realized the tree was getting a bit bottom heavy with ornaments so we surrounded the tree with dining room chairs. The kids thought that was funny and got a kick out of getting to stand on the chairs to reach the top. Willem was pretty sure he was taller than all of us now.
