We got our Christmas tree last weekend, and are proud to introduce you to "Carolina". Luke wanted a tree that was 20 feet tall, but we convinced him that a tree in the 9-10 foot section would fit in our house better. The children were great helpers as we picked out and decorated our tree, and subscribed to the "cluster" theory of placing ornaments on it. The more in one spot, the better!
Both kids enjoyed placing their special ornaments on the tree from each past year, and of course Luke wanted to wear his Santa hat for most of the activity:
Luke's new ornament this year is perfect for our superhero-obsessed little boy and carries over his 5th birthday theme, while Leah's captures our sweet little Peanut's nickname:
Winnie supervised the tree decorating process, and was thrilled that I hadn't yet unpacked her holiday attire to dress her up like Santa, a reindeer, or an elf:
The last, special ornament to be placed was the star on top of the tree, and both children had the opportunity to sit on Daddy's shoulders for this:
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house!

Oh Tannenbaum,
Oh Tannenbaum,
How precious is your family!
(I even noticed Mark's "pizza bunny" gracing Carolina's branches!)
Love, Bean
