Putting up the Tree

We had a great Family Home Evening the other week, we decided to put up the tree. I was way excited because I didn't think we were going to get to it until the weekend, but the kids wanted to get it out and so we figured we'd do what we could until we got too tired of it.

Kaitlyn was very excited about the whole thing. Stephen was really good about keeping her involved and giving her special jobs. She was the official cord holder as the tree went up so we knew how to connect the lights. She was very proud of her job.

And then poor Sam was very distracted by all the excitement. He needed to finish his milk from dinner but that assignment took him awhile. But he did finish finally and then he could help.

All in all I think it was pretty successful. We did get the tree up without decorations and about 1/3 of the other decorations up. We got out the little people manger scene and the other nativities. We'll finish this weekend. Sometime.....
