Deck the Halls

This year I was especially excited to put up our tree.  Every time we were out and about with Jackson and would see a lit Christmas tree, he loved it.  So last Saturday, BJ lugged out our fake tree from the garage and we started putting it together during Jackson's nap time. From some reason, every year this tree ends up a pain to put together.  We decided to label it last year so we knew EXACTLY which plugs went together. Well... a couple hours and a few arguments later, we finally found the stupid #3 plug in that had been missing and were able to complete the tree.  We had to laugh afterwards because no matter what we do, this tree is a nightmare for us. 

So Jackson wakes up from his nap and we are SO excited to show him the tree.  Well... we bring him downstairs and he could care less!  He just wanted to have some juice and play.  The only redemption is that when we decided to start decorating it, he was all over it.  BJ grabbed the camera and got some good shots of Jackson's first tree decorating experience. I think he realizes now how fun Christmas time can be. :)

Putting on our first ornament!

Getting the hang of it - no pun intended. :)

 BJ made us pause for a picture... Jackson was not too thrilled

I got to take a few pics while BJ helped

 So happy to be helping

 Asking for another "ball"

 Apparently I wasn't fast enough because he took matters into his own hands. :)
