Oh Christmas Tree...

It took us a while this year to find a good time when we could all get together to get a Christmas tree, but it finally happened Monday night and last night we decorated it. It was a really fun time. Kory helped Nana get the ornaments ready while dad and Tyler put up the lights. Perhaps the funnest part of decorating the tree this year was TREY! He was so excited and he couldn't hide it!!
After each ornament he put on he'd say, "Ta, da" or for some reason, "Himalayas". He kept running over to me saying, "Merry Christmas mom". When I'd respond by wishing him a Merry Christmas he'd say, "Kanks" and then go back and put another ornament on the tree and it would start over again. Trey is making Christmas fun. One of my favorite things to do this year is drive around town at night because he simply loves it. Every house is spectacular in his eyes and gets the label of "Christmas!"
Each year the boys take turns putting the 'star' on the top of the tree. Nana has an angle and this year was Kory's turn. He was so excited right up until Monty put him in the air. Then he was scared and didn't want to do it anymore.
However, Monty is such a good dad, he always has the boys follow threw even if they scared. He calms them and helps them until they feel comfortable and can feel success. This was no exception. After a few different positions and some comforting words Kory got the angle on and was all smiles.
To end the night we had hot chocolate and Mexican pastries...our new found love. It was a wonderfully fun night. Can't believe Christmas is so close!
