deck the halls

Eric and I decided to be brave and put up a Christmas tree again this year.  With our busy schedules and three kiddos running around "helping" us, it took us three days to finish the decorations.   

Every year we get the kids a special ornament. My mom started the tradition with me when I was a little girl.

Austin chose Kung Fu Panda and Ethan chose a Robot that talks.  I found Eric the perfect ornament too!  It's the RV from the movie Christmas Vacation (our very favorite movie) and it plays lines from the movie that cousin Eddie says about his lovely RV.  It's so cute!  I'm still on the hunt for the perfect first Christmas ornament for Lauren.

Last year Gege got us this awesome Fisher Price nativity scene.  The kids LOVE it and play with it all the time.

Not sure what I think about Obi Wan Kenobi and Wolverine there with Baby Jesus though.

Now I just need to wrap the presents to go under the tree!
