Oh Christmas tree.....

Although it took us a while, we finally got our Christmas tree completely up and decorated. For those of you unfamiliar with our tree, it's rather large - a 12' tall artificial prelit tree. Our lights almost flicker when we turn it on! We managed to get most of the tree up (3 sections) on one day, took a few days to fluff the branches, then added the top two sections. I think we finally finished decorating it last week. Sorry I haven't updated the blog sooner.

Eli came home from school and said "tree" - we didn't even know he knew that word. He was a little surprised by the big tree in the house!

Eli playing under the tree - how funny is it that exactly two years ago Christmas Day, I gave Tim a positive pregnancy test as his last gift and now here's the result!

Such a sweet boy!

Hanging Eli's barn ornament from Grandma C

The finished product - notice there are no glass balls or breakable stuff anywhere down low! Eli has done pretty well with it so far.
