family night #14: "The tree is up!"

tonight we went to pick out our Christmas tree and started decorating it. we didn't totally finish it (probably got about 1/2 done), because since we're all (except for kaia...yes, derek got it too, yesterday) getting over the stomach flu, leia and derek conked out on the couch while i was putting the lights on & kaia and i thought we'd save some for them to help with tomorrow.
anyways...
here are the girls at the Christmas tree place...it smelled SO good!
here we all are in front of the tree we chose...
kaia wanted to take a pic...she's getting pretty good! :)
and we're off!
my poor babies :(
and, here's the tree the way it looked at the end of the night...don't worry, you know i'll have more pics of the finished product soon! :) are your trees up?
