o' christmas tree, o' christmas tree...


finally!!! we have a tree, i love it. i think it might be my best tree thus far. that is, a tree that i did without my mama...we have had some glorious trees. but, for sure this is the best tree on our own. it was a joint decorating job and we had a blast! we waited until the football game was over, and dinner was over and just turned on christmas music and decorated until our little hearts content. i did the lights, all 1500 of them...a little much on a 7 foot tree? nah! pace put the nativity together- minus baby jesus. i wasn't aware that baby jesus wasn't supposed to be in there until christmas eve. whoops! anyway, after fluffing the branches and the lights...and the poinsettias and the awesome new silver dove, then came the ornaments. i basically rotated telling pace what colors to put on and he very thoughtfully hung them. he lasted quite a while, but when it came time to actually placing the ornaments on the inner branches and putting in the berries...he "supervised". and what a great supervisor he was, as our tree is fabulous. and as i am 7 days late getting it up, it shall stay up 7 days longer!


oh how i love the holidays. i love sitting in my jammies staring at the tree...and moving ornaments around! my job is never done...and sometimes you just need one more...or two more...


happy happy holidays!

Way to go girl! Fabulous for sure. You should do trees for the Festival of Trees, if you lived here. With mad skills like yours they would sell for tons of money and help all the little sweeties at Primary Children's Hospital! It is gorgeous!
