Thanksgiving weekend, part 1: decorating


For Thanksgiving this year, we had 2 families come over to eat dinner with us. So, to make our (new) house look a little more festive, we hurried and put up some Christmas decorations. Our huge, 12 ft tall Christmas tree is a major event to put up and decorate every year. Thanks to Matt's help and (also the kids), we got it done!


We were also able to use our extra 7 foot Christmas tree for the very odd space in our entry-way, which, in our estimation, was designed SOLEY for the purpose of a Christmas tree! I mean, it has a window, an outlet and everything you need . . .

Matt climbed up there (barely) with the help of our 10 foot ladder and I handed the tree box up to him. When the kids saw all of this, they wanted in on the action. So, Matt hoisted them up too. The girls, that is. Kimball was eager to go, started half way up the ladder, then stopped and said, "too high, too high!" (Not that we would have let him up anyway.) But that was definitely good judgement for a 2 year old . . .

Man! I am IMPRESSED! Who would have thought to put a Christmas tree up there. It's such a perfect spot, everyone outside will see it. Don't you love your home all decked out for the holidays?
