B brought home a new artificial tree this year for us to put up in our living room. We decided to take the plunge and buy a pre lit tree this year, our last tree served us well for nine years and we hope it will be loved in the home of another family for years to come.
Our festivities started with the kids hanging their personal favorite ornaments on the tree and then watching "Charlie Brown Christmas" while B and I finished putting up the decorations and packing up the harvest items.
I was pleased to hear J ask me over and over when he could help me set up our Jim Shore nativity set. He was even excited to put baby Jesus in the drawer for safe keeping until Christmas morning! After the boys set up the Jim Shore set, K and I set up the Precious Moments nativity set on our step tansu.
After the tree was trimmed and the stockings were hung the guys headed to Lowes for a kids work shop to build gingerbread houses out of wood. They did a fantastic job and had a ton of fun!
All in all it was a great weekend of holiday activities!
As K would say "Feliz mommy dad"! AKA Feliz Navidad!
