Christmas trees

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we got our Christmas tree up and a few other decorations. I didn't go all out with decorations this year since we're trying to pack things up to get the house ready for market. The kids were a huge help! It's so fun that they are at the age that they can truly help out.
The kiddos digging through the bins to find the perfect ornament.
It was a little strange putting up Christmas decorations when it was 70 degrees outside. But it was the only day we had Chuck home to help get it all done.
Carter is such a good helper. He also assisted Chuck with the outside lights this year. Now he keeps asking for snow :(
All the ornaments end up on the bottom 1/3 of the tree when two toddlers are doing all the work. Chuck and I eventually filled in the rest of the tree.
We've always had a small tree that we put in Carter's room. This year Audrey wanted a small one for her's. She loved this tiny tree because, "it's tiny like me". She picked out a pink sparkly star and a purple sequined skirt. She put all the ornaments on herself. Every night we plug it in and she gets so excited!
