~Christmas Pics 2006~

Going to cut down the tree (day after Thanksgiving):

In the Tree Farm Shop:

Putting up the decorations (starting to look a bit tired, eh?):

**I wish I would have gotten pics of Lil' Man up on the roof helping The Pastor put up the lights.  Actually, I just tried not to think about it...

The finished product - our living room!:

One of the best things is Lil' Man will occasionally walk into the living room, call my name, and then proceed to tell me how *beautiful* our Christmas tree looks or how much he *loves* our Christmas lights.  It's acutally becoming quite the tradition for him too!  He got to help his daddy on the roof this year with the Christmas lights and next year, he was told he could help hold the saw as daddy was cutting down the tree.  And trust me, he'll remember!

I also have a few decorations in the kitchen and downstairs, but we mainly decorate in this living room and outside lights.  One thing I dream about is a large "great" room where the kitchen, dining and living space are all together - we will decorate the whole area then!

Ok, time for bed - just sharing photos and our memories.  We had a really great time this year (except for the three tries we made at getting the tree straight in it's base - but at least we were smart and did that part while the babies were all napping) and now I can't wait to start our Advent traditions too.  More pics to come....
