We have been so busy that it was a bit difficult to get into the Christmas spirit this year. After Julianna's preschool Christmas program, we told the kids we would decorate the house and put up the tree. Typically, this goes smoothly but for some reason this year, we had some light issues. It brought back TONS of memories of my parents not-so-patiently fighting with the tree lights while my siblings and I are chomping at the bit waiting to put the ornaments on. It wasn't quite that bad for us, but it was a bit frustrating for Matthew. He's ready for a pre-lit tree!
We finally got it up and lost a bit of the bah-humbugish attitude and began to get excited for the holiday spirit.
Trying to find that darn bulb.......
Julianna's job was to set up the Veggie Tales Nativity
Christian and Rebecca worked together to set up the Willow Tree Nativity Scene. Since we have the piano this year, we got to put it in a new location.
One of the kids captured our discussion about the lights!
We gave the kids the opportunity to watch one of the Veggie Tales Christmas while we finished up the lights and got the rest of the decorations out of the attic
What do you know if it wasn't snowing while we were decorating. That was pretty cool!
Pretty
Tree decorated and getting an ice cream reward!
