Getting ready for Christmas

Riley helping with the tree.

Notice that Sam is putting all of the ornaments on the same branch. He was just piling them up.

Our wonderful Stockings!

And the final product: Our Christmas tree!

I love the holidays and I especially love getting ready, and putting up a Christmas tree. I was so excited to be putting one up because we haven't for the past two years since we have had toddlers running around. I dissapointed when I got up in the attic and remembered that we had left our tree back home for storage. I tried to reassure Ryne that I didn't need a tree and that I would be happy but nevertheless, later that evening he surprised me with a new tree! (thanks babe) Right away we began to decorate. I am proud to say that the Saturday after Thanksgiving we had all of our Christmas decorations up. (of course I am not proud that it took me so long to blog about it) I am looking forward to all that the holiday brings!
