Decorating the tree

Decorating the tree. They were almost done -- just needed the tiny stuffed Christmas animals -- we left those for the twix.

Sean and Ryan helping Daddy get the tree ready.

We picked out a very small tree -- 4.5 feet. Because the twix may destroy it.

We did not put up any of the ornaments we hold dear.

We only put up ornaments Alex, Andrew, Sean, and Ryan made this year.

Alex commented, "Our Christmas tree keeps getting smaller!"

I promised that next year the twix would be more reasonable (we hope) and then we could have a big tree again.
