THe TrEE Is UP!

Finally getting into the Christmas spirit! I have been shopping (which I love) and we have the tree up! All of the kids loved putting up the tree! It was so cute to see them get so excited about it. Charice helped me get it out of storage and set it up then the boys went to town decorating. Teige had a hard time grasping the concept of hanging them on the branches so he would just put them in the tree. There would be a hole with a bunch of ornaments just chilling on top of the branches. The memories!

The tree is now only decorated from about little hands reach and up. It is just too tempting for little boys. Pretty sure we won't have a "pretty tree" for awhile. Can't believe Christmas is coming so fast. Still so much to do!

ChRiStmAS in three Weeks!

I am having such a hard time grasping that today is December 1st and that Christmas is only 3 weeks away! We don't have any Christmas decorations up, including our tree, and I haven't bought hardly any presents yet. I just can't seem to get in the Christmas spirit and I'm not sure why. Just yesterday my sister pointed out that I could be using the whole "I'm gonna call santa" bit. Why the heck didn't I think of that earlier......I could have started using it a month ago. It works oh so well with Cam!

We did see Santa at the mall last week and Camden loved it! Teige wouldn't sit on his lap but that was pretty much expected with his age. So the plan is to get the tree up, buy a few things and get the Christmas music going! Because ready or not, Christmas is coming!
