So I knew Kevin would be watching football all night on Sunday night, so we decided it was time to get out the decorations and start decking the halls. This was my favorite sight of the whole night. Garrett found the Christmas tree box.
After I got the tree all put together, I let my sexy husband put up the lights. Hooray for helpers.
Caiti had just woken up from a nap. Usually that means an ornery little girl, but she was so happy because her favorite tree was back.
She grabbed a pile of the ornament balls and threw them on the tree. Such a good helper.
Next we put the sign I made at Enrichment on the door. I was so proud of my homemade craftiness.
Jason decided it was his turn to help, so he watched me put that up and then supportively sat on the chair by the door while I put up the outside decorations.
I'm so happy to have this gigantic wreath and the fun Santa and Snow Man signs for outside. We snatched them right up at Jerri Lynn's yard sale a couple years ago because she has great taste and we wanted our house to look sort of cute compared to hers. I just need to sneak out and put a nail in the side of the house when no one can see so we can actually hang up our pretty wreath.
These Snow Men are a favorite at our house. I got Kevin the Sailor Snowman our first Christmas in the Navy. I got him the Colts Family last Christmas. The other Snowman was from a beautiful lady in our ward who let Garrett and Caiti meet her horsies.
These Snowmen also have special meaning. The Baker Snowman was Kevin's present to me our first year of marriage. I have cherished it ever since. Of course, I made that sock snowman. Funny, I only have one of them considering how many I have made over the years, but that's okay. I like it anyway.
Caiti adored all the decorations and spent the rest of the evening with her new best friend, Mr. Christmas tree.
Jason even joined in the admiring, although I think he was noticing the Spongebob and Diego ornmanents more than the actual tree.
Such a sweetie pie.
...now, 2 days later...this is what my tree looks like. Inevitable, I know, to have the half-decorated tree, but that just tells you how much it is loved. (Of course there is a hint about who undecorated the bottom half for me.)

I love your snowmen! Especially the sailor ones, they are cute! You'll have to tell me how to make the sock ones. I think I recall you making those a few years back. I love how Big Bird is hanging out on the tree!
Ha ha ha! I'm so glad Caiti's friends make an appearance in the tree too!
