We all went over to the cemetery and brought Sarah her tree. I'm sure it has fallen over by now. I need to go and make sure it is okay tomorrow. 
Then we headed off to pick out our tree. It was Christopher's year to pick. He did a great job. The kids loved decorating it. It looks so great all lit up!
Last year I got this awesome nativity. Every year we lost the baby Jesus. Emily has to carry it around and eventually it is no where to be found. This nativity has Mary holding Jesus secure in her arms so Emily can't steal Him. Smart mom!!
Christopher is in charge of setting up our village. Well, really he won't let anyone else do it. It is just so nice all lit up!
Next came the lights. Emily begged me to go on the roof. We argued forever. Finally I let Chris be in charge of making sure she didn't fall. She only got this high on the ladder before saying that maybe she would be ready next year and then climbed down. 
Joseph and his friend, Cole, however, were not afraid and were happy to help with the lights.
Chris took charge and did a wonderful job. It looks so much better in person! I love this weekend with my kids. It is so much fun!!

Cute family and I must admit that driving by your house and seeing your "men" decorating your house inspired us to kick it in high gear and get our Christmas stuff out! So, thank you!!
I love how Sarah has her own litle tree. The tree and house look awesome. Merry Christmas to your family
Sarah's tree is so cute. I'll go with you to check on it whenever you want.
Can't wait to see your house all lit up. We keep talking about putting up outside lights but haven't done it yet.
I love Thanksgiving weekend, too!
I kept thinking I was going to do the same this weekend and never got to it. Everything looks great, I love the chirstmas tree on Sarah's grave.
I miss you so stinkin' much!!! I almost hate reading your blog because it reminds me that you aren't here. Love your guts!
So fun! I love that nativity! I can't wait to get all the pieces. We just have the holy family and I love it that Mary holds her baby because that's what I would do!
