One of my very favorite traditions is decorating the "Kid Tree" each year. What I mean by kid tree is, every year since we've been married we let each of the kids go shopping and pick out an ornament {or two} for the tree. Of course when the kids were younger they would choose the little character ornaments. Toy Story, Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty, Barbie, Batman, or Disney anything, just to name a few. This is why I call it the kid tree. We finally got around to decorating the kid tree last weekend. It was fun. We turned on Christmas music and decorated away! The kids always enjoy going through the boxes and pulling out all the ornaments they have picked out from previous years. Kaiden is glad he is a boy, because the girls sometimes can't remember which ornaments are theirs for sure so there is always a little drama until we get it figured out! I couldn't live with just one tree, especially one decorated with all kid ornaments, so that is why we have a second tree decorated with a much more traditional style. We love Christmas and can't wait for all the fun things we have planned! Christmas is a time for family and traditions and we plan on enjoying it all!
Silly Abby!

Must be cold with all the coats,scarfs,fur etc... tell Darrin to turn the heat up. Or is this a fashion statement to stay dressed up like you are outside.
I didn't know we had a comedian in the family....But don't worry, I wouldn't expect you to keep up with fashion anyways! By the way it was a little chilly that night!
How fun Tiff! It traditions like those which your kids will always remember.
