It was most exciting to be able to begin decorating the house for Christmas on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Yet another great reason to STAY HOME for this holiday! I'm loving it!
We bought our tree at Lowe's.... it was cold and we picked it out in record time (under 5 minutes). We figure that by the time we get done "decking" it, no one will be able to see the tree anyway!
Mariah and Carlyn did an AWESOME job taking over the decorating this year. I literally sat back and watched in amazement as our girls, seemingly all grown up now, strung the lights, put the angel on the top, and carefully hung ornaments. It was (and is) a mom's dream come true!
We did seem to experience some MASS CHAOS in our manger scene, however. Apparently some imposters came to the manger dressed as Mary & Joseph... and now, we aren't sure who the real ones are and who's just faking it?!! Come to find out, I have a fetish for Nativity Scenes... and the girls like to "mix and match" pieces. So, this could be a MOST INTERESTING year for us... trying to keep all the critters in the correct places!
Merry Christmas!
