The boys were sick this weekend and it was raining so we decided to just go the Haggen (groceries) to get a Christmas tree. The boys love it there because of the car carts and cookies and we thought it would be better than taking them to cut one this year.
They LOVE helping to decorate! They get so excited about the tree all the time and can't stop talking about the star on top. Someone gave theme each a football ornament and Jaden points them out 1000 times a day. They're pretty good about not touching it too often.
Funny things...
Jaden helped Jared check the lights and was very careful but still kept stepping on the strands.
We cut off the top of the tree, one of the boys found it on the ground and put it "back" in the tree as if it was a branch.
Jaden will point and say 00000000000 piddy!
Jackson will say KINKLE! (as in the star is twinkling)
There is a laughing reindeer (or something) that shakes and laughs when you squeeze it's hand. They were terrified at first that it was shaking and would scream and run away. Now Jackson MUST find it first thing in the morning, carry it around, give it hugs, make everyone else give it hugs, and squeeze it's hand CONSTANTLY (seriously, one right after the other)
All in all they are way more excited about it all then I thought they would be.
Here are some pictures....
