The art of getting the perfect tree with two small kids!

We decided to get our tree Friday night and then spend Saturday morning decorating it. The temperature did a dive this week and it looks like it's not warming up anytime soon. The near freezing temperatures sped up our tree hunt significantly. We looked at approximately five trees and then just finally said, "This is FINE!"
Link stuck it out with us and watched the poor high school kid cut the excess branches on the bottom.
Big man watched from the truck.
The next morning, the boys were ready to decorate! Ethan helped Daddy put the star on the tree.
Luckily for Link, Nate had to trim a little off the top. He got to put the star back up on top!
Aren't those little legs adorable?? Unfortunately, those little legs are not helpful when putting ornaments up high.
Both boys were serious about their decorating this year. Nate and I really didn't have to do much except for the high ones.
This gave me plenty of time to make hot chocolate.
While he was drinking his hot chocolate, I moved a few up a little higher!

Overall, I think they did pretty darn good!!!
