Christmas is Coming

We had to change a lot of things around this year to fit the Christmas tree in the living room. I guess we added too many toys to this room for it to fit in it's "normal" spot. SO - we have a whole new look that we didn't even think was possible. We didn't think the loveseat would fit anywhere else in the room without blocking doorways - but THANKFULLY Mommy was wrong - so not we can leave it there and have just a tad more room for "things".

Here we are having popcorn and watching the last couple mins of Rudolph. The loveseat used to be where the TV is in the pic. The lamp was in the corner. Now the tree is in the hole b/w the TV and the wall. We took the black shelf off the wall too.
Decorating the Christmas Tree - carefully!

Hmm....I wonder how all the ornaments that used to be sporadically placed around the tree (and many to the backside seeing they are ones we (Brian and Shana) grew up with) ended up right there all clustered in the front :)

Such concentration. Alayna didn't quite "get" how to get them to stay on the branch yet this year.

I guess a finished product picture will have to follow some other time. My original plan was to let them put the "unbreakable" ones on the tree where I knew they would - in the front on the bottom - and then when they went to bed I would decorate it how I wanted and move them all around. BUT....after I started to move one or two I thought - this is silly. They are only 1 and 3 at Christmas once - so if this is how are tree looks then that's how it looks. And I have to admit - I like it :)
