A few days after Thanksgiving we decided to set up the Christmas Tree and get all ready for Christmas!!

My family always had such a fun tradition of setting up the tree, that I always look forward to it and now that we have young kids it is even more fun. 

Kaylee and Connor are such great helpers

We got this prelit tree the first year we got married and have been using it ever since. It is pretty small and I would eventually like something different but for now it works just fine for our family.

Setting up the nativity. We sure love having this to setup every year. Thanks Papa Bruce and Grandma Sherry! :)

Dad organizing all the ornaments by year

The first ornament is of course BJ and I's first ornament as a married couple. Awe how sweet.

Kaylee got to put up her ornament

This years ornament we got from Disneyland (more about that later) to represent our big vacation of the year. 

Awe I love this picture. Kaylee looks like a little doll!

Putting all the bows and colorful ornaments on the tree.

Connor was in awe of all the lights

He even helped daddy put on some ornaments- well sorta ;)

Dad being the smart guy- set up a gate to prevent the kids from taking down all the ornaments we set up. What a great idea!

Putting the star on the tree. Next year it is Connor's turn!

Awe and our traditional family picture by the Christmas tree after it is all decorated. Yay!
