After spending Thanksgiving in Austin, I didn't have much hope in keeping with the tradition of getting the tree on Sunday and starting to decorate. But Wade and Ella ran out that evening and came home with a tree to my surprise. (Ella called me from the store to say, "We got a tree" but had fallen fast asleep between Home Depot and our house so she missed this excitement.)

Avery went right to work, cutting the net to let the branches down.

Proud moment, putting the star on top of the tree with a little help from dad.

The next morning, Ella was ready to start playing with all the pretty ornaments.

She remembered which ones make noise and even recalled the hippopotamus one was grampa's favorite!
