Decorating the Christmas Tree

Morian's mom's gave us a our very first Christmas tree this year. We put it up in its stand on the 14th, but waited until the next day to decorate so Devin could help. While Morian was figureing out how the stand worked, I put water in it (not really knowing to wait until after the tree was in it.) This is what Devin proceeded to do:

After dumping the water out, Morian got back to work and got the tree in the stand and began tightening the screws. It was kind of hard b/c the tree has a really short stem, so I had to hold the tree up while he worked.

Devin wasn't quite sure what Morian was doing

But he thought he'd better lie down next to the tree as well!

And here is Morian putting the lights up
we only had one short string of lights that my Grandpa had given us a year or two ago, but we made it work!

Devin looking at the ornament he got from Grandma last year that says, Baby's 1st Christmas. It's a rocking horse with a teddy bear and also says his name.

Devin was so excited to put up his ornament

Morian's turn to help decorate the tree

Devin loved being able to help

Kirsta's turn to put up an ornament

The finished project
we don't have a lot of ornaments- pretty much what you can see if what we've got
But hey, we've only been married for 3 years. We've got plenty of time to collect more!
