The day after we got our tree Marc had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled. He wasn't feeling the best on Monday & Tuesday. Wednesday we went to see Fireproof and Friday night we had a small group Christmas party. In the midst of our business we didn't get our tree decorated... Sadie and I managed to put some lights on the tree on last Thursday and we finally put up ornaments yesterday while Marc was at work. Sadie loved helping decorate the tree (more than I thought she would! She pulled every ornament out of the box and brought it over to me. She was fascinated with the process. She was also very excited to show Marc when he got home. We saved some of Marc's ornaments for him to put up. (Sadie's favorite was a train ornament that she carried around all day!)
Sadie & Daddy with "the one!"
Kinnick snuggled in the sling (thanks Jennifer!)
Sadie was pretty impressed that the tree rode on top of our car!
She was also pretty interested in the snow!
This is one of her ornaments... (FYI--she picked this outfit out herself--a purple barbie "princess" nightgown with her pink puffy vest!)
Taking a break with Kinnick. Sadie would periodically take ornaments and lay them by Kinnick--she must have thought he was being left out. 
No tree topper this year--our tree was too tall! Marc had to cut the very top off. (Our house has 12-foot ceilings, but right in front of the window where we put the tree, it's only 10 feet.)

Great memories for all of you! I love keeping up with the kids through your blog. Thanks for sharing your special days with the kids with all of us. Looking forward to seeing you!

My family always went and cut down our own tree... I convinced Josh the first two years to go cut one down with me and then we bought a fake one... I never thought I would cross over, but I have to say that it is growing on me
