The Christmas Tree is Up!

The tree went up today. S was thrilled! He has been so excited about Christmas trees the last few weeks and now he finally has one of his own. K was not as thrilled and even fell asleep during the construction. We put lights and beads on, but we will wait until tomorrow to do the decorations.

The past few days I have been looking for another tree and couldn't quite figure out why, seeing as I had one sitting in my garage. Once I put it up, I remembered. The stupid thing looks like its missing a chunk in the middle. I have had it for 4 or 5 years and every year I say I need to toss it, and then never do. This year I will follow through!

Tomorrow is Christmas pictures with Santa at the mall, finishing the tree and putting together a gingerbread house. I am so trying to get into the spirit. Some moments I'm there, and then others I couldn't be farther away. Having the twins helps. Otherwise I probably wouldn't even put up decorations.
