Trimming the Tree

There's nothing like welcoming the holidays like putting on some sing-along Christmas music and decorating the Christmas tree--while dinner is cooking and an hour before Zack goes to tae-kwon-do (we're doing a two-week trial right now). Zack was very eager about putting up ornaments, even the breakable ones, bringing Mommy much nervousness. Xander was still not so sure about this tree being inside our house. Every time one of the branches touched him, he would cringe and back away. It finally got done the next day, and now we have a decorated tree!!

Xander spinning his keepsake ornament: a big bear and a little bear reading a book together. He loves to climb in our laps with a good book!

Zack's Superman ornament, since he's been all about superheroes this year

He tried to help!


Our Christmas tree--now that I look at it in a picture, it kind of has a weird shape!
