Decorating the Tree

Darren & I were married at Christmastime, and for a wedding gift, my parents gave us a Christmas tree {with all the pink trimmings!}. It is rather girly, but it is beautiful & we love it. It's fun to see the excitement in my children's eyes as they open each box or look at each ornament.Xander Man in his snuggly jammies. He loves Holidays and family activities together.
The kids take turns putting on the star. This year they both agreed since this is the 1st time Grandma has been here, she would have the honor of bestowing the star.
My Mom brought this fun book about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade for the kids. They love it since they've both actually been to the parade in New York.

Martha Stewart aint got nothin' on your Christmas decor! Can you help me decorate at my home? I haven't had a tree or decorated for the holidays since we lived in St. Louis (yikes!).

Cute tree! My boys are now to big to hold up for high places. :( I need to post pictures of our decorating. This is the first year that I decided not to "rearrange" the ornaments after they put them on. I just let them be.
