Putting Up the Tree

For the first time ever, all three boys were interested in the Christmas tree. It was kind of impressive.

Josh and Connor went back to the same tree farm we have gone to for years. They picked out the perfect tree and cut it down. And they got their picture hung on the wall one more year with their tree.

It took us several days to actually decorate it after it came home. School and work and life tends to get in the way sometimes. But when we got all of the decorations out, all three boys came running. Connor and Xander were fans of the lights. Sawyer preferred the boxes.

And Connor was a big help with the ornaments. And by big help, I mean he hung all of them in a line at the same height around the tree. Usually right on top of another ornament. But we helped him spread them out.

It was fun to watch all of the boys interested in something together. There's very few things all three boys like to do, and they twins have rarely shown interest much less a willingness to participate in the holidays.

Let the magic begin ...
