Decorating for Christmas

This year we decorated for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving (as usual). I wasn't quite as motivated as the kids this year though. So, I told them to go for it. They brought down all of the decorations (several boxes) and they put up the tree and all the decorations completely by themselves! WOW - they even did my bird tree. They put on Santa hats and worked like crazy. I was amazed, it is the most they have ever done . . . now, I only hope they will be as motivated when it comes time to take everthing down . . . doubtful . . .

Ryan was the biggest motivator behind it all

Amber helped, but spent a lot of time dancing with all of the snowmen (I love snowmen)
