Getting ready for Christmas

We picked up our Christmas tree last Wednesday and got it home just before it started to rain. We narrowed the choices down to two trees at the nursery and Mercer picked which one he liked best. I think he made a wise choice. It's a great tree.






Mom strung lights that night but we waited until Saturday to decorate and hang ornaments. Mercer was really into it for the most part, though his interest began to wane towards the end. Mercer kept hanging different ornaments on the same branch and would congratulate himself by jumping up and down and clapping while yelling "I did it, I did it!"

It actually snowed for the first time this winter as we were decorating, so that added to the fun.
