Christmas Tree

Tyson and the boys love to get the Christmas tree up pretty much the day after Thanksgiving.  This year I just sat back and let them decorate it however they wanted it.  I'm a little bit of a control freak and like things to be a certain way.  This usually means I'm telling them to put it here or not put it there....directing them the whole time.  I am sure that takes some of the fun out.  This year I just sat back and took pictures.  I didn't say one thing about where they were hanging things.  I could see the barrens spots and didn't even care.  It was much more relaxing for me to just let go and I am sure much more fun for them.  They actually did a pretty decent job.  They loved every minute of it.  Kellen was asleep but woke up the next morning excited and ready to start pulling the ornaments off. :)  Aww, the endless struggle with those little guys.  I usually start putting the ornaments away after they are pulled off a million times and we decorate the tree again on Christmas eve to get it picture ready for Christmas morning.   I love that Christmas times is here!










Little Tyson...how cute he is!

Looks like a fun time! I can't believe there is only about 3 weeks until Christmas! I am glad I started listening to my music early this year, it has gone by SO fast!
