Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

We finally have a Christmas Tree!!! This year we went with a real tree. I've only had a real tree once in my life and that was when I was about 6 years old. Chris always had real trees growing up and according to him, getting the tree was a horrendous experience lol. So anyway, this year we gave the real tree a try. The kids were so excited about it and I had a lot of fun decorating it (go figure). Chris took them with him to run a few errands while I decorated. When they got back, I had finished the tree AND had the presents under it (well the ones I have wrapped so far anyway) I would give anything to have had the video camera when they walked in the door. PRICELESS!!! I'm thinking this is going to be the last year that Shelby really believes in Santa and that's breaking my heart. So it was really fun to see her get all excited about the Christmas decorations.

I think that everyone that knows me, knows that I collect Willow Tree figurines. (LOVE THEM) Well, over the past few years, my in laws have gotten me the new Willow Tree Nativity. This is the first time I've actually gotten to put it up and I LOVE IT!!!! It's by far my favorite decoration this year!!

I'll post pictures of the planter shelf when Chris gets it done. Um...ya.... Jana doesn't do ladders so it's going to have to wait until he gets around to it.
