Putting up the Christmas Tree & Smores Again

We decided to put the tree up the weekend before Thanksgiving since we were leaving town. The boys were ecstatic about it....especially Weston! He saw Logan get all the boxes out of the attic a few days before and could hardly stand the wait till Saturday when we got it all out. They were big helpers putting up everything. And the best part of the day is when Weston gets to go plug in the lights every night. We keep reminding him that we are getting ready for a big party....to celebrate Jesus' birthday. We are trying to keep the focus on Christ as much as possible this year. Weston is like a sponge and picking up on everything this year...so much more than last year.

Can you tell who put the red balls on the tree? I have such great helpers! I know my tree will look different for the next few years but I have to admit I love it and it reminds me how special is makes them feel to be a part of decorating it.

After we got the tree up, we made fajitas on the grill and cooked smores in the backyard again. Maybe this will be our new tradition after we put up the Christmas tree every year. The boys of course loved making and eating them!
