Putting up the tree


Right after our Thanksgiving feast, we broke open the Christmas tree.
I'm pretty sure the last 4 years we've said this is the last year the tree will make it...don't know how I'll part with it though because it was a wonderful wedding present 10 years ago.  Hopefully next year we can get a real tree :)

We turned on some Christmas music and all helped assemble the tree.
I told Eli to pretend to be Thomas and the branches were his load.  He was pretty stinkin' cute cho-choing across the living room.

Colin thought it would be extra fun to sneak some of the branches away and use them as brooms.
 

I love how excited the kids get when the tree goes up.
Eli kept shouting, "It's Christmas!" and gave some sweet hugs.
 

 For some reason a dance party usually breaks out after the tree is complete...not sure why, but it's kinda become a tradition.


We still haven't put anything on the tree besides lights...Ben and I are still trying to figure out the best way to Colin-proof it.
