Decorating the Tree

On November 30th, we decorated our tree after church. Ben was so cute, because all week he kept asking when we were going to do it. Finally the day came. He was thrilled.
That night we went to my parents house, for dinner, and then we all helped decorate the tree. The music was blasting and everyone was having a great time.
Sara enjoyed the icicle ornaments, or should I say the snotcicles. She is trying to be like her Uncle Ryan.
Ben was so proud to be up on the ladder and didn't get down until it was all decorated.
This is Nicole's favorite ornament. A musical snow globe.
Sara was in charge of the high areas on the tree. . .
While Craig and Tyler got the ornaments ready to put on the tree. What team work. Once the tree was complete, it was time for Grandpa to give the kids a special ornament that symbolizes their year.
Ben got a Mickey Mouse ornament because he is obsessed with Mickey. If there is something in a store with Mickey on it, he will find it.
Grandpa gave Nicole the Three Musketeer Barbie ornament, because she loves all the barbie movies.
Ty received a baseball pitching ornament because he played on the Cougars/True Players teams this year and pitched.
Sara got a Hannah Montana ornament, because she sings so well, and has been performing a lot. She also loves the Hannah Montana movie.

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for the ornaments. They are all wonderful.

I am so sorry that Uncle Ryan is wearing off on your kids with the snotcicle.

I love that your kids get a new ornament from grandpa each year. They will have such great memories every time they pull those out!

I had to laugh at this post. My Nicole collects snow globes, so of course that would be her favorite ornament as well and she wants the three musketeers barbie for christmas. It really is a shame we don't live closer! Your christmas card was adorable!!
