After caroling, we came home and began to decorate our living room Christmas Tree. We started later this year than we have in the past. Everyone's schedules have been so chaotic this year, especially Holly's. She's been so busy with voice competitions, ACT testing, college applications, and the high school play that starts on the 10th of December. She was late and met up with us while caroling.
It was late, but we got a good chunk of the tree done.
We'll finish the rest this weekend!
Each of the kids get an ornament every year that has a special meaning to them. We write their name and year on it and they will get these later when they move away. (and I'm ready to part with the ornaments!) Here's what they got: Drew - Jeep, Holly - Butterfly, Noel - Hermit Crab, Shera - Eiffel Tower Santa, Luke - Dinosaur, Jeff - Octopus, Carol - Garden Wheelbarrow.A little video Luke took when he got a hold of my camera!

how fun! It looks like you guys are having a great December. I love the tradition of giving every kid an ornament - my mom did that and it was so nice to have some to take with me and hang on my tree now.
The best part is when Drew attacks Luke!! I had to giggle too!:)
We do two ornaments for our kids each year...one they get to pick out and one ornament frame with that years picture in it. The picture ones have become my absolute favorite ones to hang each year and I'm not sure I'll be able to part with them when they move out!!!
