Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

The Christmas season is in full swing here at the LaVoy house. We spent the last two weekends putting up our Christmas stuff. Two weekends ago we decided to do the outside Christmas lights while the weather was still nice (don't worry, though, we didn't turn them on until after Thanksgiving). Weston had a blast getting to be outside ALL afternoon and threw a fit when he had to come inside to eat supper. Weston also made the process go a little bit slower because of all his "help," but we wouldn't have it any other way:)

Opps, did I dump all those clips out?

Not the best picture of the end result, but you get the idea.

Then, this past weekend we went and cut down our Christmas tree with Grandpa and Grandma Thompson. We felt like we were back in Texas because the weather was so nice. The weather turned out to be a blessing because we ended up having to go to two different tree farms when we couldn't find anything we liked at the first one. The first place was up on a huge hill and when we got to the top we found a pretty view, but not so nice trees.

Where are all the good trees?

We were successful at the second place and Weston even got to see a little snow on the ground.

Later that night we attempted to decorate the tree with Weston, but this was quite a challenge, so Michael and I decorated it ourselves the next day. Weston did, however, get to put the first ornament on the tree.

Since then that ornament and about five others at any given time are on the floor. He enjoys pulling the ornaments off the tree and I have given up trying to put them back on. I just wait until he is sleeping and then put them back up. The following morning, however, he is back at it. I am waiting for the novelty will wear off, just like with all other new activities, but this has yet to happen.

I also spent Sunday putting up the rest of our Christmas decorations inside. I always enjoy doing this and love how the house looks when all the decor is up:) My bathroom is decorated in Santas, the living room in poinsettias, and the kitchen in snowmen.

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving (I forgot my camera the whole day, so I don't have any pictures from ours) and we look forward to seeing many of you this Christmas!
