The Kids enjoyed setting up the tree and eating popcorn.
Asa showing his University of Nebraska loyalties - a Husker Sweatshirt and Ornament - one of my favorites!
Miriam with of U of M (Minnesota) ornament; when I asked which team it was for she proudly announced - The Minnesota Tigers! Uh, no....it is actually the gophers, honey. Much sports education remains in our household!
In the end, everyone played a part in setting up the Christmas tree and had a blast.
Both of our girls have December birthdays, so a few years back Emily started the tradition of a "birthday tree". The girls have collected their ornaments over the years and have a way to make their birthdays festive and special.
What a gift to have this family tradition of celebrating advent to help our hearts begin to celebrate Christ's birth!
