Decorating Grandma and Grandpa's tree

Now that we live closer to family, we are able to see them more and help out, too.

The kids were pretty excited about being asked to help set up Grandma and Poppa J's tree and holiday decorations. 

Seth was pretty quick to snag this cute animal ornament. It has been on my parents tree for as long a I can remember. In fact, when I was little I used to try to snag it before any of my brothers or sisters could get it so that I got to be the one to hang it on the tree. Funny that my Seth did the same thing this year.
