Christmas Tree 2012

We set up our Christmas tree the Monday after Thanksgiving for our Family Home Evening.

It was so much fun doing this with kids!

We never even had a Christmas tree until last year and that was after Travis and I had already been married for three years.

I know, pathetic, but things like this is so much more fun with kids!

Especially a two year old who was completely in awe so excited the majority of the time.

When we first pulled it out of the box Lawson would just stand and point at it like this and keep yelling "Oh wow! Look at that!"

This was the best.

After we turned on the lights for the first time he fell completely silent and just stared at in in awe!

 Meanwhile, this is what Raleigh was doing..."enjoying" herself some tummy time!

 Lawson was so excited to put the ornaments up.

It took a while before we could convince him to put them all over the tree rather than all clumped together in one spot.

And of course he had to do it all by himself.

What a big boy.

 

Miss Raleigh finally got tired of tummy time and decided she wanted in on some of the tree decorating action!

All finished and loving it! 

Lawson loves holding Raleigh by the way.

He is very insistent on it several times throughout each day.

Little family portrait!

We're loving this time of year with our kids and starting up new family traditions!
