O Christmas Tree!

I thought I'd be sneaky and put up the tree after the kids went to bed the night after Thanksgiving, but the next morning they "helped" me re-arrange their special ornaments the way they wanted them! I think next year I'll actually try and share the tree experience...I'm a little o.c.d about it looking a certain way, which has gotten Joey off the hook the last 5 years!! But I felt bad afterwards looking at all my friends blogs and seeing them all doing it as a family!! It's something I remember doing with my own family when I was younger...so I guess next year we'll try that!! Anywhoo, here are some pics of the kids with the tree!

Clayton's favorite ornament is the "choo-choo" he got last year... One of our traditions that we had in my family was to go up to Park City and pick a new ornament for the tree every year. So we have carried that tradition in our family...the kids love to see all there ornaments...and I secretly like to look at all of my old ones too!

Clayton and Daddy!

Aspen with her ballerina she picked last year...

Mommy and Clayton...he wouldn't wear the Santa hat himself!

Last year we got Aspen this cute purple tree for her room...it just matches so perfectly! She was so excited to put it up in her room again this year!

Clayton was a little jealous that Aspen had her own tree...so I put this little one in his room...then Aspen got jealous that Clayton had colorful lights! It just never ends!!!
