Andrew really enjoyed decorating the tree this year. As you would expect the tree was quite heavy around the bottom. We did have to redistribute the ornaments later, but the tree was remodeled by both Dallin and Andrew on a daily basis. Also four ornaments didn't make it to see Christmas morning, oh well. Good thing they are inexpensive and have no sentimental value.
Dallin has always enjoyed decorating the tree. I think he was more excited about that than asking Santa for presents. He is just starting to understand the concept of Santa Claus and that he brings the presents on Christmas morning. Since the only cartoons Dallin watches are on PBS, which has no commercials, he doesn't know that every kid on the planet wants a TMX Elmo or any of the other "hot" toys. That is perfectly fine with me! 
We tried to get the boys standing by the tree, but good luck getting them to NOT run away, so here is part of the "finished" tree. You are lucky they are both sitting and somewhat smiling. Getting two boys to cooperate for a picture is a Christmas Miracle itself.

It IS a Christmas miracle. I understand now. We could not get both kids looking cute at the same time either. Our tree looked the same way, all the ornament down around the bottom, right about at Ethan's hieght. You are lucky your kid is not influenced by T.V. Ethan wanted the Lucky Ducks game so bad, just because the commercial has a catchy tune, and the kids make it look so fun! It is a pretty dumb game, but he saw the commercial every morning and he just HAD to have it!
Hi, I am so glad you updated and put some Christmas pictures up. The boys look so cute. I am glad they liked the Cars stuff. I can't tell if Dallin looks happy, mad or sad in one of the pictures of him unwrapping the present. The slobber is quit disgusting but Andrew is so cute. I hope you are all feeing better. Love, Grandma Streeter
