Its Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas......

We put up the Christmas tree last night. In comparison to the rest of the neighborhood, who have had their decorations up since the day after Halloween, we are behind. We still need to do the outside stuff. It is hard to get into the spirit of it when it is 80 degrees outside. We have our AC on for goodness sake. Jacob really got into the tree trimming this year. Last year he put on 2 ornaments, both Thomas don't ya know, but this time he did almost the whole thing. We have a very small tree that Derick never gets tired of reminding us that it cost him all of 15 bucks ten years ago, but it is on it's last legs. I think our Charlie Brown tree has seen it's last Christmas. Anyway, having such a small tree made it really easy for Jacob to do most of the work. Adam, on the other hand, wasn't impressed. He took the opportunity while his brother was occupied to scoot over to the train tracks and play with all those things Jacob rarely allows him to touch.
