The tree trimmings are complete...

We have been so busy having fun that we still as of this morning had not finished the final decorations of the tree. Since the tree was the largest ever, it took ALOT of lights and need I mention to you that I plugged too many of the lights in together and twice I was half way through lighting the tree and all the lights went out! I guarantee there was a minute or two when I thought the tree was going to be bare all season. Don said he liked the natural look... liking the natural look means make it easy and we won't have to do any work. All worked out though and with my assistants we completed the tree!


My one small assistant lives in his own world! He pulls out the swifter at any given moment and says "help"... why yes Trippy you are always helping Momma!


He then insists on climbing the step ladder to show me what an "ornament" looks like... kids can teach you oh so much!


Juliette showing one of her most special ornaments, a piece of pink candy. When Juliette was three and four years old, all she wanted from Santa was pink candy! 


After a lot of hard work and a lot of giggles we had success... well we had a tree done as done as it was going to get...



A super cute video of the kiddies working on the tree... Juliette in the video is sure that it is Christmas Eve... you may ask why? Because she is describing to you that "Stodda" her elf  FINALLY arrived! She knew she must finally have been good enough that the Elf was able to enter the house! I'm afraid too that she is not sure how long she can remain perfect so she is hoping that Christmas is just one day away...


And as if she did not have enough of decorating trees, we stopped by Tessa and Doh's house and Juliette helped Tessa finish her tree up...
