'Tis The Season

Yesterday, the Christmas Season officially began in our house. It had nothing to do with American Thanksgiving, or Grey Cup, or the beginning of December. We were all home, with nothing else to do. Simple as that.

So, armed with popcorn, puffed wheat squares and hot chocolate, we gathered downstairs. Christmas music playing, toddler more interested in hot wheels than ornaments and lights, we put up the tree.

Making space...

Assembly...

One last piece...

Snack break...

Not interested...

That is NOT where the garland goes...

Time for ornaments...

Evenly spaced, please...




Checking out the finished product...

Voila!

The boys did a fantastic job tree decorating, with very little help from me. Now, when can they start present shopping, cookie baking and turkey cooking?

Yay! That's some good documentation! Now, I must get ours done this week!

It was the same in our house. The tree went up, not because it was a special day or anything, but because we had TIME! (and let's face it, it only gets busier these next few weeks)

The family ornament and the one you have for Aidan are so awesome. I don't know if it was the picture, or the ornament itself but they almost brought me to tears ;-)
