Mason has been asking to put up our Christmas tree since mid November. He is all about Christmas this year. We were able to hold him off until after Thanksgiving although it was not easy. Once we brought out the tree bin on December 1st he went crazy with pure happiness. We have one of those old fashion trees where you had to fluff and install every branch and string on your own lights so it takes a little while to set up but it is totally worth it once it is done. Colton had the honors of putting the star on top this year and of course Mason felt left out so he got to straighten the star. Then my favorite part, watching my boys hang all of the ornaments. We don't have matching ornaments but instead our tree is filled with ornaments that hold a special memory for us. Every year we get a new ornament, it started with a "New Home", then a wedding one and then came baby's first Christmas and then another baby's first Christmas and now we get a new family ornament every year. It is fun to see the ornaments from each year and remember how much our life has changed over the past 14 years that Frankie and I have been together. We also have some ornaments that were purchased while on our Island Vacation, we bought one every year that we have gone down there. The rest of the tree is filled with ornaments made by the kids! Our ornaments have so much sentiment and that is what makes our tree so special to us. Last week my dad gave us an early Christmas present, a train for around our tree! Mason is obsessed with this train, he will just lay on his tummy and watch the train go around and around. It is very sweet. Now that the tree is up and the rest of the house is decorated we are officially ready for the Christmas Season!
