Oh Christmas Tree

We put up our "tree" yesterday. We spent last Christmas month away and the year before the kids' didn't remember having a tree at our house.. so.. it was a brand new experience for them. And they thought it was great


It took me the better part of the AM to find the tree/lights/ornaments which were located in the nether-parts of closets and top shelves in the garage.. but nonetheless.. we still have our pre-kid assortment of fragile and breakable ornaments, nativity sets and decorations. Which went back in the box, but not until after 3 glass ornament balls were "bounced" on the tile floor.


But now, our pathetic 3 foot fake tree is up, precariously sitting on a table it has nearly taken a tumble off of several times and JM had undecorated the bottom branches at every chance he gets.


But.. Merry Christmas from our house to yours!

Still working on that Christmas picture. Here is our diamond in the rough version- the girls' hair hadn't seen a hairbrush in 7 hours and they were wearing their play clothes. but.. well.. this is how we really look when we aren't putting on Christmas picture airs..
(and blurry!! I have to find the camera manual and see if I did something to the auto focus feature..it focused on the tree just fine, but that was supposed to be the background, unfocused so you can't see that it's as pathetic and artificial as it can be. At least it's not an artificial cactus or palm tree, I guess):
