OFFICIALLY Christmas in our HOME.....

You remember the 80's...right!? Do you remember that show, The 20 Minute Workout!? Well, that was me this morning, for about 20 minutes I struggled, straddled, pulled and pleaded for the DANG tree to come out of the BOX!! Yes, its that time again. I cleaned the living room, moved furniture, struggled,  huff'n puffed, set things up and re cleaned the living room. The thing that I don't understand is why did the tree shed SOO MANY needles..YES, its a FAKE TREE but an OLD FAKE TREE...it has been my childhood tree, since 1983...mmmm...appropriate, the Tree is from the 80's and the 20 Minute Workout is from the 80's...perhaps its time for a NEW TREE...I think this might be the last year for OUR tree to shine brightly!

You might also be wondering, "why not wait for help?" Well...for ONE I am stubborn and want to do many things on my own. TWO, Josh asked this morning, "since we are both going to school today, can you put up the tree?" THREE, its nice for them to all come home and see it decorated, like Christmas Officially arrived at our HOME! And FOUR, I am sure like most parents, I would have LOST it with THREE kids, trying to help all at once and I was still tangled in lights!! So, it was easier, although a struggle at times, to do it all, with the HELP(?) of one child at home...little Alex who just turned two!!  I lost count at how many times I said(nicely), "DONT TOUCH THAT!"

Mr. Alex, getting all festive...and wanting to HELP, too much!!

I usually wait till after the Santa Claus Parade, then decorate...but this year, Barrie is hosting their parade a little later....so with the HOLIDAY SEASON soo short, and the decorations are soooo lovely, today it OFFICIALLY became Christmas in our HOME!!!  Tonight, after homework is finished, we will be making Christmas M&M Cookies.....that will make the house smell sooo HOMEY and feel like Christmas!!!! Of course there will be a few tunes playing softly in the background!!

The FINISHED product, its old, perhaps thats why there is a LEAN to it??
