O Christmas Tree!

We had to decorate a little early this year for Christmas because of a little someone special making his debut tomorrow. Regardless of when we did it, Kate and Maggie were super excited to get the trees up and put the ornaments on.

We started on Thursday night with the girls' tree...and Ben's!:) They have accumulated quite the ornament collection and their tree is full. We may have to work on getting a bigger tree for them next year!

So proud of their tree...and yes, they are
wearing Halloween pjs!

On Saturday we tackled the big Christmas tree. Kate was a great helper this year...Maggie was not so much! Kate sat patiently and drank her Starbucks hot chocolate while I organized the ornaments and put most of the breakable ones on and then she helped me finish up with the not so breakables. Maggie mostly just ran around the house, drinking her hot chocolate and playing with puzzles. She doesn't seem to be overly interested in the tree and that's just fine with me!

Special Christmas decorating treat - Mags had
hers in a sippy so as not to make a huge mess!:)
Helping for a short minute
Kate really loved picking out the perfect spot

Mimi and PopPop drove in on Sunday for the impending arrival of Ben and so Ryan and PopPop put up our outside lights. The girls went outside with the intention of helping but Kate said it was "kinda hard" and so they just played in the front yard and on the driveway instead.

We are looking pretty festive around here. Poor Kate just keeps wanting to know if it's Christmas yet?!
