December is Here

So of course, I waited 'til as long as possible to start my Christmas decorating. Sadly it started on the 5th of the month. (I know, such a long wait.) Riggles was ready to put the tree up...yet I was the one doing the work while he and Benny tried to figure out the instructions. Which is a picture of the tree with color names next to each layer of branches. This was after I all ready had half the tree up in the correct color order. Kinda easy if you put the biggest on first and work your way up with the smallest on top. And yet the boys gave up. In the end I was rewarded with a Merry kiss.




Mistletoe? We don't need no stinkin' mistletoe!


The decorating of the tree took a little over a week. I knew with a couple of crawling babies in the house it is gonna be quite a chore for everyone to keep them away from the ornaments. But for the kids' sake I pulled out the ornaments just as the got home from school to make some wonderful, lasting memories of tree decorating.

And I finally finished my nativity. I would've loved to do it a lot sooner because I enjoy painting, but it's the mess that keeps me from it. If I didn't have to clean up I would have a lot more projects going on.
Stay tuned.....as with JoAnna, I am starting Gingerbread house building on the 15Th of Dec. I am sure to have plenty of pictures. And we received some Christmas socks to wear for our Christmas family picture....Hopefully that post with the next one too.
