We are really excited for Christmas at our house and I am thrilled to experience the morning of with our children – they are at such great ages! Little E is our knight in shining armour and looks absolutely adorable as he attempts daily to scare us and be ferocious! (Please don't mistaken the dagger in his hand for a medicine dropper!) Mr. T has been loving his preschool and I nearly died when I went to see his Christmas program last week! He did his part so well and it was really special! (Note he is standing beside a mini-Christmas tree he brought home with about a dozen handmade ornaments to add to our collection!!!) Big J is starting to get better and that is GREAT NEWS! We hope that by Christmas morning she will be able to breathe, smell and hear once again!
Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas!
Dreamer that I am, I look forward to the day when I get to decorate my Christmas tree the way I want to. I want it to be gorgeous, elegant and classy. I want it to be co-ordinated, themed and I would love it to stay that way throughout the whole Christmas season. Nowadays I hand out the ornaments – which are about two-thirds homemade by little hands, and cannot wait till the little ones are in bed so I can rearrange and even out the ornaments. Somehow when they awaken, and every day thereafter, the kids have the same idea – and no matter how hard I fight this battle, I always seem to lose. You see, there are three of them and only one of me. Three little people creating numerous new ornaments and “things” to place on our tree; six little hands that feel the need to swaddle and then relocate each handmade crafted delicacy on a much too frequent basis. Three little souls, who love Christmas so much and adore being a part of it with all their hearts that I can’t bear to put an end to it. Someday, I suppose, we’ll have to just have two trees. As promised, here is a picture of our tree this year. Yes, it blocks the entire passage way between the dining area and front room! Note the angel is at the bottom of the tree – not the top!

Merry Christmas! I've given up on the idea of having a fancy Christmas tree. I think kids feel really great about themselves and the season if they can be a part of decorating the tree. It looks beautiful. Your kids are so imaginative.
Very cute! I love your tree just the way it is. :)
