First thing back

So, of course, as soon as we got back from Thanksgiving the kids (and the adults) were ready to get the christmas decorations out. I put up the tree in the morning, but wanted to wait until the whole family was together to finish it off - Lauren just could NOT wait to put the star on.
In order to get the decorations up outside we had to clean up the leaves that had exploded on our lawn while we were gone. The kids thought it was fun to help for like 10 minutes. The photo shoot went well, if you don't count the part where Lauren was screaming bloody murder - seen here.


20 minutes later she came back out and asked for another shot.. no problem.

I think we might be one season behind. Good thing I took these before the deluge of rain today that dumped the rest of the leaves from the tree in a big wet pile!

I adore the photos with the kids in the leaves. That is a beautiful tree you have in your yard. The one in your house is pretty too.

Love the leaves (I mean kids) picture! That's just San Diego for you. It seems like our seasons come a little later or not at all!

Looking at the picture you would think you live in upstate New York...and if it was taken back in October. I love the colors.
