Oh Christmas Tree.....

Yes, that's right, we decided to try something different this year and we put the Christmas tree up already. I know, we must be crazy right!?!?! It was actually a ton of fun and we haven't regretted it yet. Stay tuned though, we will see how I feel about it in a few weeks. :)
Maddy and I started putting up the tree. She was having so much fun helping that I started feeling guilty and decided we better hold off on decorating it until Cody got home. Here she is helping put branches on.

Carrying the branches to the tree.

She took this pretty serious. Here she is digging the last branches out of the box.

Here she is the next day when daddy was home. This was the look on her face when we plugged the lights in.

Touching the lights.

Helping daddy get the beads out.

She had a rough time when the beads had to go on the tree so we found a piece that had broken off for her to put on her neck and wear around.

Helping daddy put ornaments on.

Cody and Sam getting festive.

We topped the night off with cinnamon rolls. Mmmmmm.

Maddy eating a cinnamon roll and holding on to an ornament. (don't worry, it's plastic) :)
