Christmas Preparations- Part 1






The Christmas season has gotten off to a fast and furious start around here!  We brought our tree home after the Chester Greenwood parade (Gabe talked me down from a bigger tree;)).  We have been looking at it for a few days waiting for Gabe to have another day off to help us decorate it... then we got impatient and decided we could do it ourselves.  I made sure to review with the kids what to do in the case of an emergency (likely me falling off the ladder) before we started.  I could hear my dad the entire time gently encouraging me to make safe choices when using a ladder.  We got the lights, decorations AND the star on and felt quite accomplished by the end.  Some of us put in more work than others...

Tonight we attended our first (of many) holiday parties where the kids got to jump in a bouncy house and eat all of the sugar cookies/frosting and candy canes they wanted:)
