I really wanted to go all out for Christmas this year. It's Joey's second, but the first one he'll have a clue for. I've been bugging Joe to hang the lights on the house for at least the last two weeks. We still don't have lights up on the house, but we do have a tree. First things first. We had to rearrange some furniture and then clean up before we could bring the tree in the house.
Look who is Mommy's big helper! Once he saw me pushing the swiffer everywhere, that's all he wanted to do. So I took the top half off the post so that it was his size, and away he went!
This is our tree, in various stages of decorating. You can see in the first picture that it was just a little tall for our living room, but once Joe chopped the top branch off, it was perfect! We put it up yesterday and let it open up over night. Then today we put on the lights and ornaments, and of course the star on top! (You can see it if you look closely at the last picture.) And yes, those are presents under the tree. I went to Kohl's on Friday and am just about done. The only real thing left is to decide if I'm wrapping the presents for PA before our after our flight home.

you know, that tree is kind of ... "a christmas story." which is to say ... it looks very prototypically midwestern to me. awesome.
of course, ryan says i am CLASSIST about our christmas tree. whatever.
i just now noticed joey's face peeking into the very bottom left corner of the fully decorated tree picture. hilarious.
NO need to wrap the presents..or if you want too, I am sure mom has wrapping paper.
