Deck the Tree

Last Wednesday we put up a Christmas Tree. A real one. The first for our family. This was neither intentional, nor unintentional. 

For some years we even have a tree! I mean come on, we lived in a tiny apartment and weren't even going to be home for Christmas... and I was pregnant! Who wants to take care of a tree when pregnant?

So we went to Home Depot, picked out a tree, a base, some lights, and had some fun. 

I had all these grand ideas about decorating, but those went to squat. Our current tree just has a butt load of lights, some of the burlap garland, and no ornaments. Maybe next year.  

Before the pictures, I'll just say this: Titus took the job of decorating very seriously. It was hard to get him off the tree ornament job. Eli just wanted to throw them, and Isaac was making sure all the ornaments were above his brothers' heads.
