Putting up the tree

 Logan tried to help....at least he hasn't climbed up it yet...no joke...I thought he may try.  There's still time left....

 Instead of the tree topper from last year (which i despise), Kenzie wanted to put a little purple bow on top :) We decided that we didn't care to have a "perfect" tree all nicely in order but rather let the kids have fun and do as they wanted to make the tree pretty :) So....the real tree topper was in the middle back, you will see a few strands of garland, beads, ornaments mainly on one side (but they did a good job) and a few hawaiian lei's on the back.  I say let them have fun and care about a fancy tree later...or this could have started a tradition...let the kids decorate the tree how they see fit and with what they want!!  It's real fun to watch them fix it each day!  I will have to say...my camera was being stupid....may be from me dropping it several times....but i realized the next day it was on the wrong setting...oops!!  Oh, and there's no tree skirt...it's on the mantle as snow this year since I knew some cute little 18 month old would drag it around the house.  We need a new one anyways!
