Trimming the Tree 2016

My little Elves had so much fun setting up Christmas.  We love Holiday Traditions one of my Favorites is everyone wearing a Santa Hat to set up Christmas.  I think it's one of my favorites because it was a tradition that Jeremy and I started when we got married.  So fun!  Now the kids totally look forward to wearing their Santa Hats to decorate the house. 

Chandler, wanted to set up the Willow Tree Nativity. 

WE love this beautiful artificial tree but man was it a pain this year. It took us hours to fix all the lights.
I guess we had it coming because the last couple years we haven't had to play with lights.  It's sure beautiful and was totally worth the time spent playing with lights.

It was definitely a team effort trying to fix these silly lights. 

Everyone has their Santa hats on and are ready to get to work.  

Kayden was a huge help with testing all the lights. 

Awe, what a cute picture of these two.
Never, a second missed trying to freeze moments like this

Oh these boys....  They were trying to do situps to get a piece of Chocolate.
I guess they are burning off the calories they are consuming?  

Chandler was hilarious.  He was laughing so hard.  He did manage to eat
his chocolate without chocking.  Luckily.  Fun, Fun

Chandler got to put the star on the tree this year.  He was sooo excited. 

Our cute Brooklyn elf waiting to test more tree lights.  It's a process
going through all these light I tell you. 

Cool, Chandler Elf!  He was waiting to decorate the tree. 

I love this man of MINE!

Me and my peanut!

Look at this Dashing Santa elf.  Kayden you are rocking this look.

These two are the best of friends.
Nothing like having a bigger brother.  Awe

My Beautiful Brooklyn Girl.  I can't believe she is 14.  

Me and my Baby Girl.  Yep, she totally looks like me
.  Look how long her hair is getting.

It's finally time to decorate the tree.  FINALLY

Well, done sweetheart.  You fixed all the lights and the tree is ready to decorate.

Look, all the lights are fixed.  

Yes, even I get out behind the camera to participate in decorating the tree. 

Awe, love this picture of my baby girl hanging up her favorite ornament. 

This year I got Jermey a special bulb.  It is a hand painted from the inside Italy bulb.
Italy has a special place in his heart because he served his mission there.  So now he has
another reminder of his amazing Country.  Love you BABE!!!
