Trimming the Tree!

 Initially the kids said no tree till December.  But they changed their minds!  It required cleaning out the shed so the treadmill could be moved there so there would be room for the tree. But we got that done.  And the Tree went up!

Feeling festive!

Big Yellow made an appearance.  There was some talk about leaving him under the tree, but the kids were too creeped out to do that. 

Callie was an excellent tree-fluffer. 

 Levi wanted in on the action.

 Delaney wanted to put all the photo ornaments up properly.

My new favorite ornament!  I got it made when I went to Miyajima with my Iwakuni friends back in September. 

 Negotiating what goes where.

Totally not posed! 

Someone thinks they are so clever. 

 She even smiled for me!

Hamming it up with the star.

And Callie wanted to pose with Levi and the finished product.
