The kids were chomping at the bit to get the tree as soon and Thanksgiving was over. Here they are dropping hits...Evangeline is the tree and Jed is a present.
We went to get our tree again this year at our friend's tree farm. I took a picture of Jed in this little car last year. I don't think he'll fit in it next year....
We found the perfect tree!!
We also purchased lots of live garland and two little trees for our front plater boxes. It still amazes me by just how much we can fit in the back or our van!
The kids love getting out our Christmas decorations each year. Jed is starting to remember so of the things from years past. He was obsessed with this Santa that is nice on one side and has another side for naughty, on which Santa looks a little less amused and has a sake full of switches and coal. We've used this for a behavior tool with both of the kids. We flip it to the naughty side when they need to make better choices and it usually defuses whatever unpleasant situation we find ourselves in much faster than "time out". I did it with Evangeline and now Jed. They do not like it when Santa is flipped to the naughty side.
Evangeline likes to reminisce on each ornament and ask where each one came from. She's a sentimental gal....just like her mommy.
