Sophie's First Christmas Tree Decorating Family Night

The piano room before Christmas decorating begins


Boxes everywhere!!!

We always have a special, fun food for family night~  homemade stromboli!!!

Enjoying a break from the action. We cleaned the entire basement before tackling the decorating! Poor daddy was sick and on the couch most of the day.


Our wobbly tree~ Every year we say, "This is the last year for this tree." We'll see!

Sophie found the picture of Jesus' crucifixion in her Bible as we discussed the meaning of Christmas.

Sophie got to arrange all the Christmas books and the nativity scene  by the fireplace!

"Rudolph!"

About half of the ornaments we own....too many!!! We lay them all out and remember who gave them to us! It's always fun to walk down memory lane!

Traditionally, we watch the Miracle on 34th Street!

Todd and I put on the first ornament~ "Our First Christmas"

Ellie adds her favorite.

Shane adding his favorite.

Sophie found her "Sophie" ornament and hung it with great care saying, " My favorite from my new family."

We were all in tears and again she's wondering what all the crying is about! Another successful family night~ Christmas tree decorating  2010
