Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well ~ the tree is still a work in progress.  Actually if taking ornaments off the tree was the goal we'd be all set ~ especially with our little  Peytie Elf.  I actually got so frustrated on Sunday that I had Joey help me take off all the low ornaments and put them up out of Peytie's reach.  The tree looks pretty goofy but at least I'm not having to get ornaments away from her every 2 seconds.

Aside from the tree we have gotten some of our other decorations up ~ and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

The kids stockings on our first fireplace.

The inaugural viewing of Polar Express this year.

Joey trying to fit into his little Santa hat ~ just a little small.

Close Peytie, ornaments are round but please no soccer balls in the tree.

Yes it's pretty ~ but it's even prettier when you keep it on the tree.

But Mommy how do you expect me to taste it when it's on the tree?

The tree is lit, the garland is up, mistletoe hung and the stockings in place.

Notice the technique ~ hung from the garland.

Our poor tree ~ but at least it's keeping Mommy sane.
