So tonight we took some time to set up the Christmas tree! We found some Christmas music and pulled out our Craigslist tree that I sustained moderate injuries and humiliation for and set it up. I must admit that I was dubious about having a fiber optic tree because I thought it would look cheap and silly, but we were all pleasantly surprised that having a fiber optic tree negates having to have lights which is just easier anyway!
We had lots of fun going through our ornaments and talking about where they come from. It was really neat for Chris and I to hang up our “First Christmas Together 1997″ and for each of the kids to hang up their “Baby’s First Christmas” ornaments.
After the tree was up, the kids wanted to pretend like it was Christmas day and have me take pictures of them jumping around excited and then taking pictures of them pretending to make snow angels in our carpet (which, of course, was pretending to be snow).

It’s so hard to decide where to put the ornaments!
