Christmas preparations

Yesterday we all went hiking through our woods searching for just the right "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" for our living room.

I think we did pretty well!

Daddy and Kyle got it up and put the lights on it last night. We'll do our traditional finger-food-dinner, tree decorating tonight. There's quite a bit more prep work put into a finger food meal than I realized! Mama's been working on that most of the morning. Kyle and Luke built a fire, and Claire's been playing Christmas music on the piano. I think we're getting into the whole spirit of things again.
