Guess What We Did?!?

You got it! We set up our Christmas decorations this past weekend. I was handing Halloween boxes to McKay in the attic on Saturday and then he started handing down Christmas boxes. He claims it's because he doesn't want to make an extra trip up there, but we all know he just LOVES Christmas!

After hanging the porch lights we realized only 28 of the 72 lights actaully work. I guess it's time for some new ones. So sad.

Sydney thought it was so cool to help "fluff" the tree. She went around with a very serious face pulling and pushing the branches here and there. This is her first year helping us set up the tree. We usually do it while the kids are taking or nap, but this she got to help. Lucky!

Here's a video of Sydney in action, working on the tree.

We told Jackson that he isn't allowed to touch the tree, only look at it with his eyes. We've walked into the front room several times to find him standing with his hands to his sides, leaning as far as he can forward just staring at the tree. I think he likes to see his reflection in the glass balls. He, along with McKay, think it's pretty cool that Spider Man hangs on our tree every year. (you can see part of him on the very right side of this picture.)

Once all the Christmas decorations were set up we went out into the front yard to play in the new yellow leaves on the ground.

The kids thought it was fun to cover Dad in leaves.

Here's a video of us outside.
