We usually put up our Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving, but this year it seemed like every day came and went so quickly that before we knew it, it was the middle of December and we still hadn't put up our tree. The kids kept reminding us, so we finally broke down and pulled out all of the decorations one morning after the kids went to school. We thought it would be a fun surprise for Isaac and Adam to come home and see the tree all set up, then we would be able to decorate it together later that night. Jason was so excited, he talked non-stop (as you can probably imagine) and "helped" us pull everything out of the boxes. We finally got everything ready, but something unexpected came up and we had to pick the boys up from school and head out of town. We didn't get home until late that night. Poor Isaac actually fell asleep in the car, so we walked in the door and put the kids straight to bed. The next morning Chris and I woke up to the sounds of the boys downstairs decorating the tree on their own- so much for doing it together as a family! They were so proud of themselves though, it was hard to be too upset.
Here is Jason, helping us unpack the decorations:
This is where Lucas hung out:
The next morning the tree was all decorated and lit up!
