"Oh, Christmas Tree"

Decorating...decorating...

We've been busy here Christmas shopping and decorating. I can't believe Thanksgiving and November are over, and there's not much time to contemplate that with Christmas coming up so quickly! The kids are so excited this year about everything Christmas related. We got our tree last night and put it up, then after I put water in the stand, it all started leaking out the bottom! So, today, Pat had to go get a new tree stand and we had to switch out our almost 10' tree into it! Needless to say it's not decorated yet, but it does have its lights and garland on so far. I did redo my wreath and get it on the front door and some greens put around, so that was some progress. We also made our gingerbread dough and got it in the fridge so we can bake our gingerbread house pieces, assemble, and decorate it soon. The boys are happy that they can be in on it this year, but I'm not so sure that Hannah is happy to share the honors of decorating the gingerbread house! They did all enjoy tasting the batter though...pics to come!
