its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

you may not know this

I love shinny and bright!

I love things that reflective light

silver, Christmas ball, mirrors

add a string of  Christmas lights a little evergreen bough

total happiness

don't you love my reflection!
I know silly 
I wasn't trying for a picture of me
see that is the problem with reflective surfaces
oh well I still like them!

Alex loves to decorate the tree
he could hardly wait!!!
we had the tree up for 3 days before it was ready
see I put the 3 working light strands on the 9 foot tree
yeah not enough
so
after 14 years I had to buy new lights
but I didn't get enough the first trip
so I had to go back 

but eventually the tree was ready

I have learned to let them take over the tree
its just best for everyone!

 

I sit back listening to my favorite christmas music and take lots of pictures!

each child has their own bag/box of ornaments 
they get a new one each year
plus the have favorites of mine they like to put on the tree

again no Jared
we are still waiting for him to put his ornaments on the tree

the house is mostly decorated for the holidays and we are getting into the holiday spirit around here
kids have hinted at what they are hoping for and I have that Christmas music playing loud and clear!

Hope you are all getting in the holiday mood
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
