Oh, Christmas Tree...

Ryan "helping" decorate the tree.
He was having so much fun looking at all the ornaments.
Just like his Papa, measuring the tree with his tools.
Here's the finished product!!
Sunday night after our weekend in Roanoke we brought our tree inside so we could open it up and let it fall since we were going to decorate it Monday night. We have a tradition with my parents that we help decorate each others trees, so they came over for dinner Monday night and helped us decorate our tree (we returned the favor last night and helped them with their tree). Ryan was so excited to get all the decorations out and had been begging me all day to put the lights on the tree. The guys put the lights on the tree and the ladies do the rest. Ryan had a great time...unfortunately I have no pictures of Emily because she wasn't feeling well and went to bed a little early. (Found out the next day the she had another ear infection and some other sort of infection that caused red bumps all over her chest.) We put the final touches on the tree after the kids went to bed (picked up all the tinsel off the floor that Ryan dropped), and finally it was done!

I love that Ryan is measuring the tree. He's just like a 'mini-me' of your dad.
