Gettig into the Christmas Spirit

I love Christmas and I hope my children grow up loving all the traditions as well.  As always we set up the tree and put up all the decorations the weekend of Thanksgiving.  The whole family set up the tree, Daddy and Hailey put up the outside lights, and Mommy put up the Christmas village. Plus....the elves came out to keep a close eye of the kiddos.

 Hailey helping Dad put up the branches of the tree.

 Sydney putting the ornaments up very carefully...just right.

 Such a big helper.

 Hailey picking out which ornaments she wants to hang up.

Hailey hanging her ornaments.

 Sydney being so patient...waiting to get permission to eat the broken candy cane.

 Always a favorite...hanging the candy canes.

 Sydney got to do the honors of putting the angle up.  Hailey has always done it in the past.  However, after several failed attempts neither girl got it to stay up...so Daddy had to do it.
