Remember, I mentioned that we would be starting to decorate. With all those many many tubs and boxes of Christmas stuff. I SWEAR once its up, it really doesn't look like *that* much stuff. I mean, a lot. But not like extreme.
Anyway.. so this weekend, we started digging into it.
First we get the tree up and going. Our tree is probably about 15 years old. Not kidding. Brad had it before we even knew each other! So...yea. It falls to pieces every year. Every year I say it won't make it another. And every year it does... so far. One day, maybe we'll get a new tree. Maybe. Every year, I'm astonished by the amount of needles that come off and yet, we still manage to have a tree.
So, after all the lights were up, Brenna put the angel on top...
And Brooke plugged her in...
Then we got down to decorating it...
If the girls were taller and could reach the top, I swear I could hand over the job completely to them!
Brooke got to her ornament box and every year we read the poem that Muna wrote for her when she was born...
Then it was Brenna's turn, Brooke read hers to her...
And, finished product!
Then, first thing the next morning, we noticed our elf came back!!! Chris! The girls were so excited to see him again. :)
And the next day, thanks again to Pinterest for some fresh ideas, the girls found Chris going fishing.... :)
And, edited to add... since I wrote out this post, the village has been set up too! Well, not all of it...but all that I am putting up this year anyway. ;)
