Trimming the Tree

While the boys took their nap, we brought in all the Christmas decorations, put the tree in the stand, and strung the lights on the tree. When Connor and Ryan woke up, they got to start decorating. Below is Connor putting the Santa Claus atop the tree.
Connor and Ryan were very good helpers in putting ornaments on the trees. We have lots of ornaments on the bottom 3 feet of the tree.

Above is Ryan putting an ornament on the tree and below is Connor.

The boys had their "favorite" spots to hang ornaments, so there are a couple places on the tree that look like the glob below, with about 10 ornaments on the same branch. I think it just adds to the charm of our tree and Connor and Ryan can be proud that they decorated it themselves.

This is our third Christmas at our current house, and the Christmas tree has been in a different location each year.

The Thomas Train around the tree is a big hit with the boys.

And, below is our tree all lit up and sparkling. Connor can't wait for the presents to make it under the tree. His first comment when he woke up from his nap and saw the tree, was "where are the presents?"
