We usually enjoy the changin of the seasons in NC and that includes the fall leaves. This year we missed it. So my mom-in-law sent the leaves to us. She usually does this for the other grandchildren in Florida which Andrew has helped her prepare the last few years. So hwne the box came the other day, he knew exactly what it was. It was a beautiful afternoon and the boys had a great time.
We put our tree up over the weekend, but i wouldn't let them decorate it until the first night daddy was home. Plus that gave me some extra time to put the Tree Train on. This is the coolest thing. We found it at Lowes Home Improvement about 2 yrs ago and the boys love it. and yes, the train really goes around the tree and it has real smoke! it's very cool. Any one with little boys that love trains needs one of these. I always liked the thought of the train going around the bottom of the tree, but where in the heck would you put all the presents?
so the boys got to work. Daddy hung one or two and threw several. If you've ever been to a tree-trim party with Richard you know what i'm talking about. i was the hook-er (aaron is too little to put the hooks on his ornaments so i did it for him). all of aaron's were at his eye level and in a the same spot. there are some branches that had 4 or 5 ornaments on each one. I had to spread them out a little. the whole bottom half of the tree was sagging. It may not be aSanta- only tree this year, but it is decorated with love.

We're finally getting a Lowe's around here, so maybe they'll have the tree train and I can get one next year. My boys would love that!! I saw yours last year. Too cool. Oh, and I know about the 4-5 ornaments on the same branch, cuz Levi did the same thing. Thus far, somehow, our tree is surviving Levi. Maybe it'll make it to Chrismtas after all! PS-Great leaf pictures! Looks like they're really "falling". :-)
