Can you believe that we had absolutely nothing to do last night??? The kids were hounding us to put up the Christmas trees the night that we got home from our Thanksgiving travels. To tell you the truth, I just didn't have the energy after unpacking the car and starting the laundry. So, last night was the night!!! We have a big picture window in the front of the house so we always put a tree there. It's sort of our "formal" tree. Because it's in the front of the house, it's protected from the chaos. In other words, the breakable and fragile ornaments go on this tree. John and the kids enjoyed decorating- I just snapped pictures and enjoyed the Christmas music in the background.
All was going beautifully until someone thought an ornament was a bright, shiny ball..
Well, here's the finished product....
When we muster up enough energy and Christmas spirit, we'll put up the "family tree". You know the one--the one with all of the paper plate ornaments and adorable sunday school crafts. But we'll leave it in the box for now.... it's still November, for goodness sake!!! Jill
