Tony's mom waited until we came into town to get their tree so my kids could experience the whole "picking out a tree" and "decorating the tree" thing. We had kind of a hard time finding a tree lot and then when we did all that was left were the big ones. But we were able to get a discount so a normally $70 tree was $40 made it worth the trouble.

I'm rearranging the kids decorations and trying to reach the top without toppling over myself.
The kids also made ginger bread houses with their cousins. I have to admit this isn't usually something we do around the holidays but the kids had fun for the short amount of time their houses actually stayed up.

And yes even I joined in to make a house. The kids quickly devoured their houses, especially Charlie.
So come Christmas morning I got some videos of the kids opening presents and such. But totally spaced getting pictures on Christmas Eve of the kids acting out the nativity or wearing their Christmas p.j.s. I also never got pictures of the kids with all their gifts like I usually do. I'll blame it on pregnancy brain combined with the ciaos of Christmas morning.
But all in all we had a good Christmas and the kids were thrilled with all their gifts. I have to admit that I always look forward to Christmas but I'm glad when it's all said and done. Now that all the festivities are almost over I can start concentrating on getting ready for the baby. He'll be here in about 8 weeks, so we'd better get busy!
