I have wanted to put up the Christmas tree even before Thanksgiving, but I have refrain... maybe because it makes me so long to do OR maybe because I am just extra excited for Christmas this year, either way, today is the day the tree will go up and be decorated.
Before...just an ugly fake tree, but with my helpers and myself (Dan was there helping too, but not in any pictures. We make this a family thing, even though I have to admit, I get a heart attack when the kids touch my ornaments.) 
we took control of the decorations and turned that into THIS!
AFTER.
You have to notice that it was light out when we started and now look, dark outside.

I am glad it's done, but one of my favorite things that I will be looking forward to this holiday season is when the fire place is on, there is no lights on except the glow of the Christmas tree. I am snuggled on the couch with my blanket and a yummy mug full of peppermint hot cocoa.
I am ready for Christmas!
