Getting Ready for Christmas

Christmas is a big deal around this house. Everyone gets into the spirit and helps decorate. We have a few trees and a lot of decorations. My favorite tree is our 12 foot tree we got when we first moved into this house. It looks really cool all lit up at night. If we ever move, Joe knows we have to find a place that will fit this tree. 


Even Patrick got to help decorate this one. He really likes climbing ladders.

Another tradition we have is taking the kids to the Hallmark store and letting them each pick out their own ornament. They get really into it and spend quite a bit of time searching for the perfect ornament. 



Daniel picked out the Griswold Family Roadster (since it was a car) and it played "Holiday Road" when you pushed a button (which Patrick would love to push. It was the first thing he did every morning).


Patrick picked out the groundhog from Caddyshack. I guess he really likes animals.

The boys got to help us decorate this tree. They each wanted to put up their own ornaments. 




Here is the finished tree.



And our stockings. So cute! 

I love the Christmas season.
