Deck the Halls

Last Saturday, we headed out to Home Depot to pick out our Christmas tree.  Surprisingly, Samuel was very particular about which tree would be the right one or not.  After holding up about a half dozen or so different options that mom & dad thought would be good, he approved this one.  :)  
Our little helper Samuel jumped right in to help mommy decorate the tree.  
He did a great job placing most of the ornaments on the tree - and made sure they were high enough to be out of Kendall's reach!  
 The tree is all finished - with one last important piece - the star on top!  Samuel usually has the honor of placing the star each year, but wanted to give Micah a turn this year.  When the time came, Micah declined, so Samuel got to have a turn again this year!  
Andrew had lots of fun covering our new house with Christmas lights this year.   He was up there all weekend putting the lights in just the right spots.  
And here is our awesome gingerbread house!  I snapped this picture before Andrew climbed down.  You can see him in the middle.  :)  
 Inside Micah had fun helping Mommy decorate our felt tree.  The kids love putting up and taking down the felt ornaments and presents.  :)  
On Thursday, December 4, Micah had his Christmas performance at preschool.  He was dressed very handsome, don't you think so?  We rushed through dinner and made it there right before the performance.  But, when it came down to it, Micah decided he was too scared to go up on stage with the rest of the three-year-olds from his class.  (I don't blame him - there were a lot of parents in the audience!)  So, Micah just sat next to us in the audience.  He still enjoyed watching his class perform and loves singing the songs at home to us.  And there's always next year, right?  ;)  

We sure are enjoying this Christmas season so far and hope you all are too!
