Christmas decorating and Thanksgiving!

Okay, so the title of this post is backwards, but that is because I uploaded the pictures in the wrong order, and I was too lazy to reload them the right way. Sorry!!!! After we ate our wonderful Thanksgiving meal, we decorated for Christmas. Karis loves opening all the tubs and ohhing and ahhing over all the decorations. There is nothing like playing Christmas music and decorating the house to put us all in the Christmas mood. We added a new Christmas CD to our collection this year.

Karis and Noah by "their" tree. I love to see their little personalities as they decorate. Noah put all his ornaments on the same branch, we finally had to move some of them because the limb was drooping so much. Karis is meticulous and likes to spread all her ornaments around.

The kids decorating the BIG tree! Noah did one ornament and was ready to move onto the next thing. Karis is wonderful helper.

Our tradition for Thanksgiving is to make a thankful tree. We write something we are thankful for every night after dinner. It is so funny to hear what the kids say. Almost all of Noah's were food, since we usually just ate right before we wrote on our leaves.
