Trimmin' the Tree!

Ok, so the tree has been up since the weekend after Thanksgiving...but we're just getting around to making it pretty...Johnson Standard Time. The kids take an annual trip down memory lane as they pull their own ornaments from the box. It's fun and very interesting what they remember. I got Abbey on video telling her tale about Mom's and Dad's first Christmas tree. Amelia's name was picked out of Evan's hat to put the star on the top this year. That is a HUGE deal at our house for some reason...Although I'd like to see Ev heave Chase or Chan on his shoulders...the thought makes me laugh.
Anyway, tonight we are making graham cracker houses with 4 other families...at OUR house! Yes, Evan has expressed his concerns and I have done what I can to make him feel better....But, we ARE going to have 17 kids at our house (plus their parents). HAHAHAHA! I can't wait to post those pics! The best ones will be of Evan hiding in the corner!
Viva la mess!
