Time to put the tree up!!

So now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over, it is officially time to put up Christmas decorations! Saturday we went to Lowe's and purchased our first Christmas tree, then over to wally world to pick out the decorations for the tree! Kylee was so excited she was like a jumping bean! We couldn't keep her still for more than 2 minutes. Well being the super wonderful parents we are.....we made her wait until Monday to put the tree up! Casey hid the tree under our bed, it drove Ky nuts, she probably spent a good hour searching for this tree. It was mean, but pretty funny!

So Monday evening rolled around (finally!) and we put up our first Christmas tree as a family, I just wanted to share some pictures of the whole process! So far we've only managed to break 2 ornaments, we will see how that count holds up until Christmas, considering our whole house has tile floors!!!!!

doesn't look like much now, but just you wait!

Ky is such a ham!!!
