Oh Christmas Tree..grr..

After all is said and done...it looks beautiful...and so do the girls.


Simon really got into some trouble..he likes to help at grandmas house and at home with the lights..ornaments..tree skirt..pine needles..and lets just say anything he could get his hands on!

With great excitement!! We took the kids over the weekend to purchase a fresh cut Christmas Tree. To great dismay, once we got the tree picked out, tied to the car, home and inside, we needed to do some major cutting! Can I just tell you this tree stand you see pictured caused us much grief! The girls were so exicted to decorate the tree. I had taken them to pick out a few new ornaments...they had been waiting ALL day for Spencer to get home from rounds at the Hospital...they ended up waiting an additional 2 hours once we got the tree home to get it to stand up without falling over!! NO we are not brain dead when it comes to putting up a tree..but the individual who cut the bottom of our tree merely did not do an "A" job. It was quite comical actually...You should have seen me on the floor trying to cut a large branch...then Spencer doing the same...Ha Ha!! We did it though! The girls were so good and I think Simon only ate a few pine needles and maybe chewed a few ornaments ha ha (j/k).
