In keeping with our family tradition, or so it has become since we moved to Texas, we spent the weekend after Thanksgiving trimming the tree and stringing up the lights! Avery and daddy went to pick out the tree while Ella and I unwrapped the decorations. She was such a big help!
I thought Wade was playing a joke when he walked in with a 3' noble fir but he quickly explained that Avery "earned" his own tree from the man at Home Depot by sweeping up all the pine needles while he waited in line with daddy. The man just gave it to him, such a sweet gesture, so thank you kind stranger. It was such a great lesson for Avery to see that you are sometimes rewarded unexpectedly by doing good deeds for others. Tree aside, he learned a valuable lesson today, and his heart felt good to help he said. He was so proud.
Avery with his tree. Maybe now it's ready for decorations after we used 2 cans of faux snow on the branches!!

I love this sweet pic of Ella taking a break from the decorating...
Mom had the tree almost finished when Ella woke up from her nap. Check out the look of wonder on her face! If this doesn't get you in the spirit of Christmas, look again! Happy Holidays Everyone!
