Decorating The Tree

In the 65 degree whether on Thursday, we headed off to Home Depot to check out the $30 9ft trees. Here the picky tree pickers are scoping out the trees. It was hard to decide since the trees where all netted, so we just chose by height.

Yes, this one looks tall enough!

Dad couldn't believe I made him put the tree in the carriage and push it out to the car. It worked, didn't it!


Loading the tree up on my roof, we couldn't take dad's SUV, it would get dirty!!!

Oh! and the kids are locked in the back seat, as we wrapped the string around the doors....he-hee..


Lexi cuts the netting off the tree.

Good job Lexi and Papa!

Mom and Olivia hang the lights and the garland. Olivia is behind the tree helping!

Papa puts the star up! Olivia couldn't reach this year!

The girls were in charge of hanging all the ornaments.

Lexi helps put the skirt around the bottom of the tree. Olivia is behind the tree again.

The finished project!

The living room mantel all decorated with Olivia's nutcrackers.
