Christmas Tree

Today we spent some time putting up our Christmas tree! Tate loved it! He was pretty animated-taking breaks to read books, wrapping up all the ornaments in tissue paper, and referring to the bulbs as 'apples' and 'balls'! ha!
He's so funny.

I love this time of the year and the weather was beautiful today. Tate and I played outside for a long time this morning while Blair worked on homework. 
Yesterday, after having lunch with Ryan, Janelle, and the kids, we did a little shopping with my parents. They came down to Des Moines to celebrate my mom's birthday and to get some Christmas shopping done. Tate even got to swim with Papa and Grandma at the hotel!
