Last Friday, while Andy was on the phone cancelling Mediacom (they raised our monthly cable from $90 to $145!! We called and asked them to lower but they didn't budge, so we are leaving for Dish), I had Henry help me bring all the holiday decorations upstairs. I decided last minute it was the night to put up our Christmas decorations!
We will be traveling on Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after, so knew we didn't have time to get everything up before we host our big Thanksgiving on Saturday. It was the perfect night to do it. And who doesn't love to get into the Christmas spirit - even if it is a few days early??
We had so much fun. We had the Christmas music playing, boxes everywhere, lights that wouldn't light (pre-lit tree...), lost a few glass ornaments (luckily I only drew blood twice, and thank goodness it was my own skin), and fun with all the empty boxes, the pictures below explain it all!!
Both kids loved to help this year, especially Henry. He really took his time placing each ornament on a branch he picked out himself. He got so excited, and was so careful. Check out the below pictures of everyone helping out.
Andy trying to figure out why the row of lights are not working, which is a nightmare with pre-lit trees! He eventually just hit it really hard and they turned on - not even kidding!!
Kids having so much fun in the Christmas totes. They played with it for a good hour!
They took turns jumping off the top of it. I wasn't so sure how Hannah would handle it - but she impressed me! Probably not the safest position for Henry, but he made it out alive:)
I had to add this picture of Hannah taking a face dive into the floor. Check out Henry's hands - yes - he pushed her off... She is going to be one tough girl.
Picking out his ornaments and placing them carefully on the tree - such a big boy!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone!
Henry crammed into that box just kills me! Too funny!
