Time to Decorate the Tree...

    After bringing home the freshly cut Christmas tree it was time to trim it. The kids had fun helping out. Even Cole at 15 months old tried to get in on the action when possible. He kept putting ornaments on the tree then removing them a minute or two later.

    Later in the evening it was time for Olivia, Grandma and Aunt Jenni to work on a Gingerbread house.
