Decorating for Christmas

Thanksgiving break is the best time for us to decorate for Christmas.  I have to confess that decorating is usually not my most favorite thing to do and Darwin ends up doing most of the work every year.  He is the best husband ever.  Period.  Thanks for being so awesome, babe!

Unfortunately, this was our 3rd year in a row with ants in our ornament box.  Gross!  We can't figure out what they love about it so much.  Darwin is a saint and thoroughly vacuums it out every time.  Third time is the charm and we decided to store them inside our condo from now on rather than out in our storage closet.  We're just hoping we don't get a condo full of ants by next Christmas!

The girls loved helping set up the Christmas tree

Rori cracks me up!  She was so serious about the pine needle she found that fell off the tree :)

 The star was a hot commodity this year.  The girls didn't stop fighting over it until after Daddy put it on the top of the tree!

Savannah hugged it tight and kept saying "Mine!" once she got her hands on it.

 The poinsettia flowers were a big hit too :)

I'm glad everyone had such a great time getting ready for Christmas!
