up goes the tree

i love our tree. it's fake, is pre-lit and twinkles. the kids love it too and couldn't wait to decorate. i let the three bigs loose on the bottom of the tree with the unbreakable ornaments and i hung the glass ones near the top. the overall effect is a colorful bottom half and a light and sparkly top. the bottom branches are so heavy that the ornaments are touching the ground.

dad supervised as his contribution. oh and he carried the bottom piece of the tree up the stairs for me.

the tree looks great. within hours we had our first casualty due to a flying reindeer (read: maddux was tossing a stuffed reindeer in the air too close to the tree). i think the broken glass and danger talk from matt and i helped them understand to be more careful near the tree.

let the festivities begin! i just love christmas! love.
