Decorating!

We helped start decorating Dawn and Blake tree on our last night there. Here are a few pictures!

 Reagan of course wanted to make sure she got to hang up the "beautiful sparkly ones." 

 The boys "hung" the ornaments their own way. :)

 Aunt Laura got the kids a beautiful book about the first Christmas. Thank you!!

 After the boys went to bed, Reagan got to help put more ornaments on the tree.  We need a little work on spacing but the enthusiasm is fantastic!

 We couldn't wait to get our tree up and decorated. We did it the night after we got home!

 Hanging the Santa Keys on the doors so Santa can get in. 

 Corbin did a great job helping fill my hurricanes with pine cones. 

 It was such hard work that he had to take a break to read a book. 

Meet Ruby, our Elf on the Shelf. Ruby flies home to the North Pole each night to report back to Santa on good and bad deeds. Each morning when he returns, he chooses a new place to watch from. In the morning we look to find him. We can't touch Ruby or he might lose his magic and he can't talk to us under strict orders from Santa. It was up to us to give him a name and Reagan chose Ruby so welcome Ruby!
