Oh Christmas Tree...

Tonight we decorated our Christmas Tree for family home evening. Isn't it beautiful?We were going to go cut one down like we have done in the past but being 7 1/2 months pregnant and having two kids that probably wouldn't walk more than 30 feet in snow, we opted for the 10 minute drive to Home Depot and the 8 ft noble fur.
I told Eliza that we would put lights on the tree when dad got home from work today. So as soon as she heard his car pull into the garage she was out the door and in his arms saying "Lights on Christmas tree daddy?"
The girls loved plugging the lights in and seeing them light up. Liesel would laugh every time. And they loved the balls and candy canes. We learned right away that shatter proof ornaments are a brilliant invention and that anything edible needs to be at least 4 ft off the ground. It was a great night. Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you have a marvelous holiday season!

Your tree is beautiful! Looks like you had a fun time. Ours is starting to look a little sparse on the bottom two feet:)

Your tree looks great, and I can't believe how big your girls are. Someday hopefully we will actually get to see them. Hope all is well for you guys, we think of you often and wonder how you are. It's been nice to be able to read your blog to see how things are going! Have a good week!
