Decorating for Christmas!

One day I will get the hang of adding pictures to my post......my pictures are always in reverse order! Oh well, they're still there!

I always try to decorate for Christmas on the weekend after Thanksgiving if at all possible. I can't do it before, because I am a one task woman. But, I don't want to wait too long because I like to see the decorations. However, this year, I just wasn't looking forward to the work. Well, that wasn't an issue because the kids did it for me! Below are pictures of the process. After the tree was decorated, we took the kids' picture for our annual Christmas card and the kids decided we needed a photo shoot! So, we took every possible combination of pictures that we could take. I think they all turned out pretty good, except for the ones with me in them. I hate to look at pictures of myself!

The finished Christmas tree. It is really skinny, but fits well in our living room....plus it's pre-lit, which I love!
Me and the kids! Don't I look lovely? AGGGHHH!
Greg and the kids! Aren't they a beautiful group!?!?
The three kiddos together! I wanted to use this for the cards, but couldn't get it to upload properly!
The kids wanted to have the cats in the picture. The cats wanted no part of it...I snapped this just before the cats jumped from the boys' arms!
The kids decorating the tree. Notice the bulbs sorted out by colors. Marshall separated them out and gave everyone a certain color to use. Wonder where he gets that from?

It's amazing that three kids who spend most of their time arguing can actually pull together and work for a common goal. I guess they don't really dislike each other all that much now do they?
