My two favorite Holidays are slowly approaching, Thanksgiving and Christmas. During the Thanksgiving season there are so many things that I am Thankful for. However once Thanksgiving comes Christmas sneaks around the corner and then that's over as well.
This year I decided to be a little a head of the game so that my family and I can enjoy these two precious Holiday seasons. Since I had Monday off I decided to haul up our tree from the basement.
As I started putting the tree together, Jack and Abigail started asking, "What's that, Mom?" I replied, "Our Christmas Tree." The kids faces lit up. As I made sure all of the plugs were in and everything was a go, we lit the tree up.
Setting up our tree reminds of the song "My Christmas Tree"
Christmas Tree,
My Christmas Tree,
Lit up like a star;
When I see my Christmas tree,
Can loved ones be far?
Christmas Tree,
I'm certainWherever I roam ,
The glow from your branches
So today we then decided to decorate the tree and make it official. Jack and Abigail wanted to help so badly so I had them help me place the ornaments and as I was getting things sorted out they couldn't contain themselves and each of them broke an ornament. In the end the ornaments were placed, the skirt lays brightly around the tree and in the end Jack, the big boy that he is, placed the Star on top of the tree.
The tree and in all her glory
Jack in the end rockin around the christmas tree.

I love your tree! So happy to see it up! Merry merry to you and your our cute fam. By the way, that song is one of my favorites--I think you should teach it to Abi (like the Repunzel song) and have her sing it.
