Alright...take a picture...or look shocked...or something, because I have actually posted on this blog 2 days in a ROW!!! :) Well, yesterday we finally put the tree up! The kids (especially Lily) have been looking forward to this ever since we got back from Thanksgiving. In the words of Lily exactly..."Everybody is ready for Christmas, but we are not ready for Christmas!" Well, I guess now, according to her we're ready. I thought it would be fun to make some Christmas cookies to eat while we decorated. So while Jason got the TV ready with Santa Clause 2, I went to the kitchen and baked the most beautiful Christmas cookies you've ever seen....
Ok, so maybe not the most beautiful....and maybe not even homemade....but none-the-less, they were good! Long story short....all I had at home was sugar cookie dough and red gel food coloring, so I sliced up the dough and dabbed a dot of red food coloring in the center and there you have it....Christmas cookies!! I love how kids get excited over simple things. Anyway...after putting on a few ornaments the boys kinda lost interest....but not Lily!
Here's the star Lily put on the top...
And this would be Daniel's definition of hanging ornaments on the tree...
Lily finally ran out of room on the bottom, so she talked her daddy into lifting her up to decorate the top...
And here you have it....the finished product at night with all the lights off...my favorite time to look at the Christmas tree.
Now today begins operation: decorate the rest of the house for Christmas. And, if I'm being totally honest...operation: re-arrange some of the ornaments on the tree to make them a little more even.... :).
