The Christmas Tree

The day always ends with the boys helping Neal put up the Christmas Tree.  It has been a long tradition to put up the tree Thanksgiving night and then decorate it the next day.  It is an interesting change from one holiday to the next over night.  I keep telling Neal that the tree is too big for the two of us to tackle any more and we need to get a smaller tree.  I haven't quite convinced him yet but I think that may happen in a couple years.  The two of us are not even able to lift it up and down from the loft in the garage without help.  Yikes, we are getting older and need help from our kids!  Jeff standing on a chair putting on the top of the tree.  It helps to be 6'8"!!  Thanks Tucker and Jeff for helping us assemble the Christmas tree.

I happened to go downstairs to put a folding chair away and found all the kids on the couch watching a movie that they had made.  One of the few moments where they were all quite!
