Christmas decorations

It's tradition to put our Christmas tree up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But we have to make sure that everything is done before the FSU vs FL football game. The kids were very excited to help. I don't think K remembers much from last year and I don't think she gets the whole "Christmas season." She's still asking if today is the day to open presents.

Before breakfast I had to run out and get lights (and I got a few presents and a peppermint mocha from Starbucks--YUM!) After breakfast, K and I started working on the tree inside and the boys went out to put up the lights. It was cold out but not freezing. Actually kinda nice to put lights up. C got to help Daddy. He was a really big help. After they were all done, C asked if he could get up on the roof with Daddy. Once he was up there, K wanted to go up too. Surprisingly, she was more scared than C. But they were so cute sitting up there with Daddy.

We also put some lights out back this year. And on Black Friday I got 2 pre-lit trees in pots. One is on our front porch and the other is in my living room. I've wanted trees like this for years. (same ones mentioned in the last post).

After we decorated we watched the game. So sad. For dinner, we had a "snacky type" meal. I tried these Pillsbury savory sensations. We tried the cheese and spinach and the pizza ones. They are YUMMO. It was a fun family day! All in all we had a great long weekend. The kids were good, we got a lot done, we found some good deals, and made some memories. I love weekends like this.
