Our Christmas Tree

The past few weeks have flown by.  Maybe because Thanksgiving was late this year.  Most year's it seems to take forever for Christmas to get here.  We didn't put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving this year as the kids were at Granddad and Nana's.  We put it up that Sunday but didn't decorate it until Tuesday.

Here the kids are helping Rob get it up.  They were so excited to bring up all the stuff.  

When we decorate the tree, Autumn gets the left side with all her pink decorations and Logan gets the right side with his tractors and such.  In the middle of the tree we put our family decorations of places we have been.

This is from our Cape May, NJ trip that Great-Granddad joined us on.

The Roundhouse Museum in Baltimore that Great-Granddad took us to.

Our Rehoboth Beach vacation in 2012.

Broadkill Beach, DE that we went to this past summer.

On the top of the tree are the ornaments that mean something to me.  They were Grandmom's ornaments and I can still remember placing them on the tree every year and they always went up top as well.

Here is one of Grandmom's handmade egg ornaments.  I have Lucy and Snoopy.  I know there were a couple more with the Peanuts crew but I don't know if someone else has them are they broke over the years.

Here is our tree in all it's glory.  You can tell this is Logan's side.  I've learned not to place any presents under the tree until Christmas Eve.  The dogs in there frenzy to look out the window no matter what is in the way, have destroyed past wrapping efforts.  Sometimes I had to re-wrap a present a couple of times or someone saw a peak of something.  So this takes care of all that.
