It’s been a tradition for the past several years. The weekend after Thanksgiving, my parents get out the 16 foot Christmas Tree and the whole extended family gathers to help decorate. There’s ALWAYS holiday music, there’s ALWAYS food, Santa ALWAYS makes a stop and there’s ALWAYS a few laughs……even if they are other’s expense…tee he he!
This year was no different. In a nut shell: the younger kids decorate the bottom of the tree until the older kids/adults lift them to reach the top. The rest of us stay back and take lots of pictures LOL. The little ones ran around excited for Santa to arrive and we all eat…..to much!

I LOVE THESE! They are wonderful!!!!
Those photos are fantastic! The lighting is perfect. I’d love to know your settings, etc, if you can remember! Was it all natural lighting with no flash? Did you use a tripod?
Love the lighting, camera angles, perspective. Unique. You’ve got that something special ‘thing’. 🙂
