A holiday tradition for Michael & I has been to bring home our christmas tree on a Sunday night (which always happens to be raining) and stay up into the wee early morning decorating it. Sunday just always so happened to be the day that this happened on. So in creating and keeping traditions and memories in our family it was only fitting to get our tree on Sunday and instead of staying up all night decking our tree out...we turned it into a 2-3 day decorating event!
I can remember all the excitement I felt when I was younger when we would bring home our tree and decorating it with all our school made ornaments. This was such a fun memory that I can already see formed in Matthew & Hailey's minds. It sure is something to soak in when seeing Braiden's reaction to all the festivities and to also see Matthew & Hailey excited to see him excited!
Braiden was dancing around our tree showing it off!

The Star must be in this box?!?!
Everyone has a role in getting our tree decorated. We left the Star searching to Braiden this year so he was on the look out for our Gingerbread themed christmas tree star.
Matthew & Hailey usually hang the ornaments and Michael is our lighting director. I usually sift through our containers full of decorations and lay out the items for the kids to decorate with.
Telling mommy that he turned on the reindeer lights outside.
1000 + lights and counting!
The Trang Ohana Christmas Tree can never have too many lights!
Getting ready for his important job!
Braiden's first time to put the star on our tree
Ta dahh!!!
Our tree now has a star!
It's beginning to look and smell like chrsitmas!
Braiden loves to climb to the highest step on our step stool.
His favorite ornament is our Gingerbread Mickey Mouse.
