This past weekend we spent Sunday getting all the xmas decorations out and putting them up. While everyone wants this to be special and meaningful and something the whole family will enjoy, most times it ends with tears.... (mine). This year went over pretty smooth I must say. Nothing got broken and no one got hurt. Here's a few pics with the decorations in the background.

Nathan loves to suck his thumb. In fact, it is so good, he often tries to share it with us. Here's daddy getting a turn.

I tried to get both kids to go under the xmas tree, but Lucas is too big and Nathan just wouldn't stay in place. Note the lack of decorations at the bottom of the tree...... there is a reason for this. I won't name any names but he's got his finger in his ear in the picture....
