Preparing for Christmas... early!

I was able to convince Mike to put the Christmas tree up tonight: Saturday, November 7th!! We had a total ball with the process since this is our first year we put up a tree! (We usually aren't in town for Christmas)

We began our evening with pulling out our holiday bin from our storage closed outside. We found Michael's Hallmark snowmen from last year. Here is his reaction!!


It was then time to pull out the Christmas tree we had bought earlier in the week from Hobby Lobby (love that store!)


Michael was ALL about helping his Daddy, watching him pull everything out of the big box, inspecting the pieces of the tree and admiring Daddy put the pieces together :)



So the tree was exciting... but the lights were even more exciting for our lil guy! He sat and played with these for quite some time! He isn't one to just sit and play but the lights definitely kept his attention for awhile :)





Finished product!

Since we began our project somewhat late in the evening, Michael didn't make it to see the tree complete. We put him to bed around 830 then went back to decorating! I fluffed the tree, Daddy put on the lights and we got all the ornaments on before our bedtime :) When Michael came downstairs the next morning, he was super excited to see the tree all done! He smiled and giggled then went to play with his Hallmark Xmas snowmen :)
