Well, we did it. Thanks to Daddy's day off and a dreary rainy day, we were motivated to decorate the tree and get it done! The cookies are in the oven now and I'm off to play a game of Phase 10 with Edward...woo hoo!
As for the tree...I honestly don't know if I like the way it's decorated this year. First of all, since it's our last year in this house, we wanted to get a big tree that would fill the living room since we have high ceilings, so the tree towers above the living room beams at least 2 feet! On top of that, the lights are new. They are the LED ones which cast off that bright blue hue....all 10 strands of 'em! I really miss my classic white lights, but this year is all for the kids, so I'm happy for them 'cause they love it!! Here are the kids (and Daddy) putting ornaments on the tree...
Here is the tree all completed. Notice that blue hue?? You can't even see the angel on the tippy top. She's going to get a nose bleed this year since she's up so high!!! =)
Lionel & Sweet-Pea posing beside the finished tree. (Not sure why either of them are sporting shorts! It's almost winter and it's cold outside!! Go figure.) The tree is pretty though...it does put me in the Christmas spirit. I haven't felt much like enjoying the holidays this year, but I'm trying. It's a pretty strange feeling, now that both my parents are gone.
Cody isn't sure what to make of all the decorations in the house. He smelled the tree once and then lay right back down. I think he could care less! As long as he doesn't think of it as another place to do potty, we'll be all set!!!

I do notice the blue hue. :) I can't imagine what it is like in person...very bright. :)
I was thinking of getting the LED lights for outside, that would be fun for the neighbors. lol
My kids are wearing summer clothes also...what is it...I just don't get it, I'm freeeeezing cold!!! ;)
Hope Cody doesn't go potty on the tree and hope your heart is filled with lots of joy and warm memories in the days to come.
It looks gorgeous! I know what you mean about the white lights, I prefer white lights too--but honestly---your tree could change my mind! I'm glad you're getting in the festive mood!
Very pretty tree! The kids look thrilled. And we are wearing shorts outside cause it's warm here! LOL
I will have to post a picture of our tree on my blog later today.
Love ya!

The tree looks beautiful. Nicely done. And the LED lights probably mean they are much more efficient. I am a white lights fan, too, but the blue somehow does say "Winter" which is part of the Christmas fun here in the States.
