Neil decided last year that he didn't want to mess with a real tree anymore, so he talked me into buying a fake one. We bought a cheapy from Walmart, with the plans to buy a really nice one after Christmas. Well, that never happened, so we are using the cheapy again this year. It's a pretty one, though. We accidentally grabbed a tree with different colored lights, instead of clear, but the girls loved it, so I'm glad we messed up.
This is the girls ready to get it started. They just could NOT wait to get it up. "Hold on, wait, just a second," was just not something they understood today.
But we got it up. And it's very pretty.
And here it is decorated.
I let the girls decorate it. Can you tell? I only did the delicate decorations. I love it. It's so cute. I think this is the first time I just sat back and let them do it. I think they were very proud of it!
We found the Santa hats. I think Lily is saying "Ho, ho, ho." So funny!
Here's Neil's elf hat. Emma was singing a song about elves while I took her picture. I love this picture. You can see her freckles really good. She's so cute!
They were pretending to be Santa's elves working on toys. Emma first, and then...
...it was Lily's turn to be an elf. They are so funny. They both have to do it, and they both have to have a picture of it. Very sweet! Oh, can you see the stocking Emma is wearing on her foot? She actually fit into that thing when she was two months old. I have a picture of it sitting on my piano. She has gotten so big!
And here is the house. I thought it was a cool picture so I thought I would post it. I really need a tripod! Anyway, you can see the green lights we added to the clear, and our Christmas tree is the red lights in the middle. It's really pretty out in the yard. Neil is gonna put up the Santa, angel, and snowman tomorrow, so I'll get more pictures later. Maybe he can help me set up a steadier picture.
Neil should be home soon, so I will write more later!
Love, Camie
