A Productive Sunday Afternoon

The Christmas village is set up.

I don't get it out every year, but now I have a nice long mantel to display it on.

When I was done setting up the village, Kaitlyn asked if I wanted to put up the tree.  She lugged the biggest part up the stairs for me and put it together.  After that tremendous effort, she enjoyed watching Aubrey and I decorate the tree from her lounging position on the couch.

Aubrey getting into her work.

 Putting the angel on top is the finishing touch.

 The Christmas Tree is done!

CRAZY HAIR NIGHT

Big Sis did Aubrey's hair for "Crazy Hair Night" at AWANA last week.

Believe it or not, she didn't win!

That's A LOT of hairspray, folks!
