Decorating the Tree



Last night we put our Christmas tree up. I put up the tree while M was still at work so we could decorate it when he got home. We had dinner and then we set up M's computer with a Christmas radio channel playing (since I cannot find any Christmas CD's so far -- they are still packed far far away), and started to decorate. The kids were hilarious with their decorating. They would put all the silver snowflakes on one branch and then all the jingle bells on another branch -- oh and only on the very bottom of the tree. DH and I had to remedy the tree a little once they were done. It was funny! After we had the tree up we did a photo session to have some fun family pictures (and because I *might* be a little obsessed with taking pictures.) I love the two pictures at the top -- my kids look so grown up them - kind of freaked me out!

I can't believe Christmas is so soon. I am working on some fun elf gifts for a couple sweet people and I am trying to get most of our house unpacked before Christmas. We shall see how it goes. Hope your holiday season is not too hectic so far . . . oh and if you have not entered to win the pinecone ball kit -- see the post directly below for how to do that -- the winner will be drawn tomorrow!

Cute munchkins!! I wish mine were all still that young, they're not so much interested in the tree decorating anymore. I have to wait until they're all here and then ask if they want to even help. Eat up every moment of them while they're young!!!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
