O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

...how lovely are your branches! This year putting up the Christmas tree was a bit more of a challenge than previous years, but we eventually got it up (luckily before Christmas!)

We dug our tree out of the basement (Yep, we have an artificial one! I just can't bring myself to cut down a live one!) Owen and Eli "helped" Mama sort the branches...

Owen even helped put the branches on the tree...
Although he had much more fun crawling under the branches...
...and playing in the tree's huge box. Papa even crawled in the box to join in the fun!
After all the fun Papa and Owen had in the box, Zoe wanted to see what was so great in there...
After the tree was up, Zoe made sure to test that it was structurally sound for a one year old. She sure loves to climb the tree!
After taking a couple days off, we eventually got some decorations on!
Owen had fun unpacking all the ornaments...

He really got a kick out of Papa's ESPN ornament that plays the ESPN jingle...

"This song has a great beat!"

"A golf cart to hang on the tree! Yeah!"

"Where should I hang the ornament?"
"Decorating the tree is fun!"

Zoe and Jess hanging up a kitty ornament

"Where did all the ornaments go?"
Eli thought the finished tree looked great...

And Zoe thought it looked like a great place to relax!
