Making Christmas

((this is my 2nd post today, so keep going after the end!))

Friday we put up the Christmas stuff.  I LOVE putting up the tree, and apparently the kids inherited that.

This was before.  Erin was depressed because it would take "sooooooooooooooooo long!!!"

I told her to start small, so she went to work on the windows

Slowly but surely we got everything set up

And today we went to go visit Santa at the mall.  Erin was SO excited.  She ran right up and jumped into his lap.  Patrick, however, wanted to get away and Allison started screaming her face off.  But at least we have memories, right?
