Tree Trimmin'

Well, for FHE we decided to decorate the tree we got through the YMCA (in which a portion of the proceeds goes to updated equipment and other YMCA goods).


I was taking pictures, so you'll have to use your imagination and picture me there with them. With all honesty, the picture taking didn't last very long...you'll see why.




The tree after I got the lights and ribbon on (I forgot to get the camera out until after I did those steps!)


Eliza, our "Elf in Training" happily looking on, providing her input in baby language. It was most helpful!



Chris and Seth started hanging the ornaments, but they weren't...quite...in the right place...


Moving the ornaments after I "instructed" them on proper tree trimming.


Chris trying to be patient (and not really succeeding) after the instructions


Sitting on the couch while I finished the tree decorating.

O' Christmas Tree!

I just love the warmth from this holiday...even if that warmth sometimes comes in the form of anger or "meticulous" work (using Melissa's term for being anal about something)!

Happy Holidays!

I love your tree! I want to get little poinsettias flower things to place in my tree! I think it's beautiful!! Sorry your FHE didn't turn out the exact way you wanted it to. It gets better when the kids get a little older. Carson was just handing the ornaments to Dorian....that worked for me!!!

Hey! Just saw you yesterday, but just had to leave a comment! Your house looks adorable, I'll have to come over sometime to see it. Let me know when you're ready to sew something, not to long and Eliza will be big enough to wear some of my things. P.S. I grew up with Dorian Ducker in Seattle, funny!
