getting ready for the holidays

One of my goals this week has been to go through pictures and videos from the last month or so, that I haven't had time to post. Here are some pictures from the end of November as we started to decorate and get ready for the holiday season. Today there is no trace of the holidays left in our house, the boys waved goodbye to our Christmas tree as the garbage men took it away this morning.

An early Christmas present from Bapa, a Thomas the Train set for around the tree!

Bobble hanging time:

Planting flowers that the boys originally planted in hollowed out pumpkins back in October. The pumpkins were starting to rot, so time to put them in the ground.

And somehow I missed taking pictures of us decorating the tree. Oliver put most of the ornaments on the front 1/3 of the tree, it was pretty cute. Here he is putting the star on top.
