o tannenbaum, part zwei

more christmas fun ... we finally got the tree decorated last night! all of our ornaments are not on, but since we are still a little wary of jack keeping his hands off the tree, we thought this year might be a time to give some of the more precious ornaments a bit of a break.

jack loved decorating the tree and his unbridled enthusiasm really made it fun for us as well.

we also finally broke out our "elf on the shelf" which we received a couple years ago from aunt amy. this is the first time jack has been able to understand the concept and we are working on choosing a name for our elf. so far "brown" and "pink' were some suggestions that jack had. yeah, the elf gets those names and the baby gets "george and the sticker" ... what gives?!?

jack took a few pictures of the tree, which we include here so you can see it from his point of view

"the tree"

"the lights"

and a few from ours:
