Oh Christmas Tree! (Advent: 1 & 2)

On Sunday, we decided to watch the Nativity video & talk about how Christmas is a celebration of the birth of our Savior.

On Monday, for Family Home Evening, we went and picked out our Christmas Tree.




My camera was out to get me. I kid you not- I attempted to take more pictures, particularly of Eden, and every time my camera battery would die. I was pretty bummed about it. They were such good pictures too... I might repeat the photo op if Nate is willing. :)

Fortunately, each of my kids seemed to inherit the love for Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas album! That music is so nostalgic for me, that I finally paid the $7 on iTunes to officially own the album. We rocked out & got lights hung up outside & the tree decorated. Collin was really the only one who got into decorating & bless his heart, each ornament he put on the tree was pretty much in the exact same spot. Haha! I re-arrange things after the kids were in bed. 

 Collin has no bum...poor kid can't keep his pants up!

How fun it is to see the gang take part and enjoy the Christmas traditions.....they are all so special....Little Miss Eden has to know what a star she is...petite, gentle and adorable.
They all seem to enjoy one another....Your parental skills are wonderful....Love,
