Christmas is here!

For me, putting the Christmas tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving always marks the official start of the Christmas season. The kids start to get excited and they love looking through all the ornaments and remembering when they made them or which Christmas they received them. It's especially nice now that we have a pre-lit tree that Ben puts up in about 10 minutes and then we just let the kids go to town putting all the ornaments on. It's not much to look at, but all those cute kid-made ornaments add up to lots of fun Christmas memories!
