this year i took out all of my christmas dishes on the thursday before thanksgiving and then the next day i worked on bringing in all of the tubs filled with christmas decorations as well as the tree from the garage on friday. (mom, it probably would be best if you didn't read that part...or at least just imagine the tubs were all filled with light weight garland!)
jessica was in town and had offered to come and help me, so she came right about the time i was putting up the ornaments. earlier in the morning i started to dread putting the tree up...mostly thinking about the lights. and then i realized that this would be my second year with a PRE-LIT tree!!!! and that changed my whole morning. i'll tell ya, if you don't have a pre-lit tree you need to get one!
the boys and jessica (well, mostly talan and jessica as hayden was busy playing games on jessica's cell phone) all helped out by putting the ornaments on the tree and we were done and out running to a few stores before 2pm! when we got home i finished decorating the rest of the house and it was pretty much all done by the time dave got home. it felt so good to just have it done and to be able to enjoy it and work on other things.
talan calls all christmas decorations "christmas." so anything new and christmasy that went up, talan would point and say "christmas!" "more, christmas!" "don't touch christmas!"
ahhh, the christmas season has officially begun!
hayden found the body bag:
here are some more pictures i took with the christmas card in the back of my mind:
talan loved helping me put the ornaments on the tree:
this is about all the help i got from hayden:
apparently i didn't take a picture of the tree when it was all finished. i'll get right on that....
