It's not Christmas time till the tree is up....and the tree is a big deal in our family. It's a process - and it involves everyone! We actually waited till Ashlee was home from work and went tree shopping.....
We were looking through our 2010 pictures - and realized there was not ONE of just Doug & I together...there is always some child or another invading the picture...so this one might be it for the year!
Dad & the big daughter...
Katie with her very first Christmas tree - ever! I think she likes it!
Ransom love shots......(waiting for dad to pay!)
...home - ready to be adorned....
Putting the lights on the tree is always a ...lets just say...."special experience" - and one that I am not ready to expose our young children's minds too- so I took them to church and Doug put the lights on! The girls came home from Sunday School to a lighted tree....
We let Matt place the ceremonial first ornament...
....and the Angel who holds the crown of thorns!
Katie quickly got into the spirit of things - she loves her tree!
A true family affair!
Katie settled into a reading of "The Night Before Christmas" - another first....
Bring on Christmas - the tree is up!!!
Looks like some great family time and a beautiful tree too:)
