Christmas is in the air

We are one of the families that LOVES getting out Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. I asked to put up Christmas stuff a week ago, but was asked to wait at least until the day after Thanksgiving. So Saturday morning we set up our tree (fake this year, I know I know, a cop out, but last year we forgot to water our tree, dead pine needles all over, messy...poky, we decided to alternate each year between real and fake) and the kids all decorated it, even Liam. Although his was more of a deconstruction of the light strands. The kids are very excited for Christmas to come, and we'll have more decoration fun for FHE when we finish putting up our Christmas village and other stuff...as well putting up all our outdoor lights we got on clearance on the after-Christmas sales. Yay! Shhh...don't tell Josh. He loves putting up lights, but maybe not the whole "that doesn't look even/tight enough/long enough/it's the wrong color/let's try this instead" type deal. Maybe I'll surprise him and do it while he's at work. Or at least get it ready and set up. :) wink wink...
