Getting Ready...

The weekend after Thanksgiving, we started getting into the Christmas mood.  This year, we caved to pressures of an artificial tree.  Daddy got the task of putting it together.  For some reason we always have to make a big mess to get anything done.

The tree had lots of helpers to get it dressed.  For a while all the ornaments were about 4 feet high, then when the ladder came out all the ornaments moved up about a foot. 

We had lots of fun decorating this year and just kept adding more and more.  Here is Abram with tree number 4!

Not only do we have several trees, we also want to remember the true reason for the season.  We have several nativities set up around the house.  Several of them are at just the right height for little hands to explore and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.
