We spent all day Sunday decorating the house both upstaris and downstairs for Christmas. The girls have their own tree with their special ornaments downstairs. We buy them an ornament every year with a special meaning of something they are really into at that point in life. Then we keep a journal in a special box and write a letter to them every year about the ornament. Emma wants a tinkerbell ornament and Gracie wants a ballet slipper. We are shopping for the ornaments in a week or so for this year. Upstairs is our traditional tree, that we keep simple. It took all day for us and we stopped for a homemade beef roast in the middle too. I love it when it is all done and the house is full of lights and color. It is my favorite time of year, besides all the snow. The girls are so excited this year, they know that after SANTA comes we go to Florida and they talk about it all the time. They even talk about sitting on Santas lap ( we'll see how that goes) I have all the gifts wrapped and under the tree with only a few to buy still, it is a record for me. I will be all done by Dec. 1st so I can enjoy the season w/o stress ( I do have other things to stress about though) just not Christmas....
