Decorating the Tree

Last week we spent some time decorating the tree. Wow...this took a long time. It is crazy trying to get something done with two kids. I cannot imagine life with anymore. Being a mom of two and working full-time is a lot of work. Especially now that it is winter and Jesse's work schedule is so unpredictable.

So after two nights, we finally completed the tree. It was so fun for Olivia to look at her ornaments this year. She wanted "the story" about all of them. So here are a few...


The red ball ornament has a picture of Olivia just before her first Christmas. It did have a recording of her babbling, but unfortunately last year Olivia got a hold of it and erased it. I was very very sad about this. The mitten is one she made at Jenn's daycare.

Olivia's snowman ornament...this one is my favorite one that she has made.

Our finished product...


Our fireplace with our stockings. Now that we have Charlie our mantel is getting really full. Good thing we are not planning on making our family any bigger. We would have to kick Jack off of the mantel :)



We hope that you all of a wonderful Christmas :)
