Putting up the Christmas tree!!

Last night, the Flanders family put up our Christmas tree. As always, it was a special family time of joy mixed with fun mixed with a certain amount of pain and frustration (toddlers aren't exactly professional ornament hangers). This year's tree had to be significantly smaller due to the size of our current living room but it is not lacking in spirit. While decorating, the kids seemed to enjoy putting many ornaments on one branch of the tree. Needless to say, mom had to do a little redecorating for sanity's sake. We are thankful for the season and looking forward to spending another Christmas together!
