Decorating the Christmas Tree

Kate & Braden were excited to get home from Nashville to help with the Christmas tree. They were both very eager helpers with the ornaments this year. Mommy's going to have to a little rearranging after bedtime! :-)

Leaf Crashing

The two trees that we planted 6 1/2 years ago when we moved into our house have finally produced enough leaves for a leaf pile. Kate and Braden knew exactly what to do!
