O Tannenbaum

Another Christmas, another year to decorate a tree! This year was a little sadder because we weren't able to cut down our own tree (seeing as how we now live in a DESERT), but we managed to find a really purty one at the local nursery.

Eric always expertly strings the lights...

...and Kristen couldn't wait to put the star on top!

Here's the fam by the non-ornamented tree....

...and then after most of the ornaments made it up.

Kristen had a lot of fun helping this year since she's old enough to actually participate in the decorating. Each ornament was hung with care and in a very specific place (at least in her mind!). Yeah for Christmas!!
