Decorating The Tree

Tonight we decorated the tree. We did all the other decorating last weekend but tonight was our time to deck out the tree. It is so much fun looking at all the old ornaments and remembering back to the times when the kids were little.

I played with the setting to have the camera on and I could never really get it right. Anyway, here is Mia in the midst of hanging ornaments.

Mia showing her lady bug ornament. We had that ornament for her the in December of 2005 when we thought we would have her home soon after that. We started adopting in July 2005 and got her home May 2007-- not quite as quick as we thought. She loves this ornament- the legs move.

On the night setting-- still did not work well but Ethan is showing one of his old ornaments- cant remember which one

Owen made gingerbread cookies earlier tonight and was displaying them for the picture

Attempting to get a picture of the kids. Even though the lights are all funky, I still think this is a cute picture

This is our living room-- the final decorated product

A different angle

And the stairs

And the top of the stairs and into the loft.


So Christmas decorating is done--- yaaaa!!! Now it is time to start getting some gifts under the tree. I have lots to do!!!
