Hanging the Greens

Back when I was growing up, that's what we called it....hanging the greens, trimming the tree, decorating for Christmas. One of my most favorite things about this time of year. Spending time with the people you love fighting over who gets to put the Angel on this year and where Dad's Pinnochio ornament should go, eating Pizza, enjoying the lighted views from outside, and just "being" together.
It all starts with a tree shopping trip. Growing up, we always went to a tree farm owned by a good family friend. Now a days, we just headed to our local home improvement store. The hunt begins...
Then back home for a little dinner. Em was just a laughing at her Uncle Reese. They always crack each other up.

Then it's into the pajamas and tree decorating time. Don't I look adorable in my new PJ's?

We had a couple of new ornament this year. Emma got to hang her first ornament to celebrate her first Christmas.

After all the ornaments were hung, two little workers got a little tired.
Do you have any Christmas decorating traditions?
