Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree

This past weekend we set up our Christmas tree. We listened to some Christmas music (hello Carpenters!) and had a great time. It took us longer than we expected to actually get the tree set up and ready to be decorated. Let’s just say the girls had waited all day for it and we didn’t start decorating until about 7:00 pm. Madelyn was starting to get  a little tired and cranky by then.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a few years you know we have a white tree. Mike bought a train set to put under the tree this year and it has yet to stay on the tracks and not fall off. We had to rearrange the living room a bit and put some of the smaller pieces of furniture upstairs for right now. I lost my Bible reading corner for the Christmas season! (sniff)

You may be wondering why I chose this picture to post as you can’t see anyone’s face. I love the lighting and how our tree looks in that corner!

Not even Christmas decorating stopped us from using the potty. Madelyn insisted on playing with one of the ornaments while she did her business.

Daddy has the job of hanging the high up ornaments and putting the angel on top.

They dressed up in garland for a bit. They take every excuse to “dress up”!

    A white tree? Wow, for someone who doesn’t want snow, doesn’t that just remind you of snow? :D (It’s beautiful, by the way)

    The other day at Target, Garrett told me he wanted the “wipe” tree. That’s how he says white right now. I’ll have to show him these pictures of yours. It looks great! We still don’t have ours up yet.
    I just now got caught up on your last few posts. I liked the celebrity babies you picked. I was trying to see if I could think of any others that I think are cute. I’ve always thought Reese Witherspoon’s 2 kids are cute, though they’re older. But seriously, how could Reese not have cute kids?!
    And I think you have 2 helpers on hand for when the day comes that you have another baby. :) You’ll be fighting them off just to hold it and feed it.
