Oh Christmas Tree






The house is finally decorated and ready for us to celebrate our VA Christmas next Saturday. I have been feeling really pressured this year, since we will be leaving for Maine on the 20th. That pushed us to plan our Christmas on the 13th, and that does not leave a lot of time to get ready! So, we had marathon Saturday:
7:30am- Tanya wakes up entirely too early for a Saturday!
8:30am- Dr. appointment with both children because TJ had to drive.
10:30am- Julienne's 2nd to last dance class. Next week she will "perform" for us at the last class.
12:00pm- Off to cut down the tree in the 29 degree frigidness.
1:30pm- Tucker came over for a couple of hours, and satisfied my baby longing for a while.
2:00pm- The kids and I decorated the tree, while TJ was searching for a last minute gift for Tre.
4:30pm- Off to Lisa's house for scrapbooking, baked ziti and lots of fun.
10:00pm- Back home to relieve Tommy from his babysitting duty.
11:00pm- Off to bed!

Ahhhh, the joys of getting ready for Christmas. Today has been a restful day spent at home watching football.

I'm jealous...a tree farm. We're among the lousy parents, who had no energy or desire for adventure, and got their tree at Lowes. Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm admitting that! No cute tree farm pictures, no saws, no freezing our rears off. I can't believe you'll be ready for Christmas by the 13th! Good for you!
